My right ear rang like a son of a bitch!

One time I was asked to spot for zeroing a M107 (.50 Barret) and I was so used to spotting for M14's that I assumed my usual spot to the left of the shooter... exactly in the baffle blast of the muzzle break. Thank god I was wearing ear pro, for a couple seconds I thought I'd gotten RPG'd again. Let's hear it for being retarded!
Anyway, I've never really noticed the difference between M4's and M16's. The 10.5 SBRs I was around didn't seem too much louder either, but I've always had my ear pro on for those.
