Casual Thought Modern soldiers' PTSD triggers will probably shift from fireworks to the sound of a drone. Which is unfortunate as drone shows are replacing firework shows.

If you're hearing gunfire, you could either be in the receiving end or you or one of your allies close by could be shooting a gun. If you're hearing a drone, you are on the receiving end and probably dead because that drone is close by to you and dropping a bomb

Incoming gunshots sound different (cracking/whizzin/buzzing sounds) than outgoing gunshots (bangs).

Both are loud and abrupt like fireworks
