Jim Kelly told me that after he finished restocking it he and another fellow took it to a nearby river swamp. The other fellow was instructed to walk aways into the swamp, while Jim stayed put, and to fire it a couple of times. Jim wanted to see if it really made an unusual sound, like Bo Whoop! I waited for his verdict. He just smiled and shook his head "No".
