gunshots
Loud weapon discharges
Gunshots are the sounds or discharges produced when guns are fired.
The word can refer to the explosive noise itself I heard gunshots in the distance, the act of firing multiple gunshots rang out, or the projectiles and their impact gunshot wounds.
A gunshot is also the range a gun can shoot: within gunshot of the village.
