Drop of a 12 Gauge Shell

The audio starts with a distinctive metallic click echoing in the air as a 12-gauge shotgun shell is picked up. The shell, likely a Remington due to its recognizable design, is held briefly before it's dropped. The fall is swift, and upon contact with the hard surface below, the shell emits a resonating clink, a sound unique to its heavy brass base. The shell's tumble rolls out a series of soft clatters, each hollow clink revealing the shell's empty status. It comes to a rest with a final tap. The audio then captures the sound of a shotgun being reloaded, the shell being slid into place with a satisfying, mechanical thud. The closing action of the shotgun's breech can be heard, a solid, metallic snick that indicates the gun is now loaded and ready for use. The audio ends with the faint echo of the shotgun's mechanisms settling into place.
