This analysis explains the distinct 'crack' and 'bang' sounds heard during gunfire. The 'crack' is the supersonic shockwave from the bullet exceeding the speed of sound, while the 'bang' is the muzzle blast. The absence of the double crack indicates the shot was either very close or the bullet was subsonic.
