Was on a jury once and we spent almost an entire day discussing this particular sound. The BG had robbed several adults with a "shotgun". He confronted them in the driveway and forced them into their own apartment. Had more than 6 adults under his control for several minutes. To emphasize his point, he repeatedly racked the slide on his "shotgun".

Sad part to it all was mutliple adults were traumatized by the experience and it wasn't even life threatening. The BG was carrying an old kids pump action .22 rifle that was obviously empty ("...he just kept making THAT SOUND...").

None of the victims had any experience with firearms and ALL were terrified. Anybody else would have probably yanked the rifle out of this kids hands and beat him over the head with it.
