If it goes Ratatatattatatatatatatat *click* its celebratory gunfire
If it goes Pap pap pap....... pap pap pap pap they are shooting at you for real.

Myself and my friends have nicknamed this type of behaviour the 'Saddam Salute' or 'Iraqi victory salute'. I've never really understood it myself either unless you're wearing a tin helmet under the headgear. Still, whatever makes them happy I suppose.

Unless it comes from a 16-inch gun. Not bolt-action, but is single fire.
