:)  No problem.  I was playing.  :)  (Wanted to see what some of these ladspa 
effects did, and figured making a machine gun would be fun)  Yeah, 400K is 
too big and there's plenty of room to work with.  It could be reduced to a 
mono track (it's stereo now), drop it back to 8 bits rather than 16, resample 
down to 23k or whatever.  And it's too long.  I figured it'd be easier to 
shorten it than to lengthen it.  ;)  No reason it can't drop down to a pretty 
small size, and that's assuming it doesn't get vorbisized anyway (not much 
point for such a small sample, really).

For what it's worth, I started with a bass drum on this.  I tried using a 
cymbal crash to make an explosion and it didn't work out so well.  ;)  I'm 
thinking the bass drum-based noise is probably good for artillery, now that 
I've used it, but a snare-based noise is probably preferred for infantry 
and/or tanks.  But yeah, after 0.4.2.  ;)
