One friend of mine fired an uncleaned rifle, fresh
out of storage. The cosmoline made a cloud that
didn't clear for quite a while.

One of my uncles told me a story about a homemade silencer. He taped
an oatmeal box filled with shredded newspaper to the end of his .30-06
to deer hunt. How he saw anything over the box beats me. Anyway, he
shot the thing. He said the noise was like an atomic bomb and he
couldn't see anything through the cloud of confetti. He's lucky he
didn't burn down the woods.

That uncle died a month or two ago, aged 90.
