Picked this up at SoS a few years ago. I read somewhere, that these weren't very popular as they sounded like MG fire at a distance, any thoughts?

There was a similar device used during training to mimic the sounds of machineguns firing. So it makes sense that the troops wouldn't like them in combat.

The biggest ever army manoeuvres In 1935, the British army used the gas alarm rattle, to simulate the noise of gunfire to save on ammunition.
