And of course in the heat of the firefight who has time to listen for a "ping"? Or to be able to hear one what with the distance and other sounds of battle going on for that matter? and I love this quote "It happened seldom, if at all. As Bruce Canfield put it, if one guy ran out of ammunition, several of his buddies would have been more than glad to send the German or Japanese to his ancestors."
