Bolt actions speak louder than words.

About This Quote

Bolt action guns are a type of firearm that uses a bolt to lock the chamber and the barrel together. When you pull the trigger, the bolt strips a round from the magazine and chambers it. This is how modern bolt action rifles work. They are quite popular for hunting purposes, as they produce a significantly stronger sound when fired. People who use these guns often say that they can whisper a shot over a mile away and that the sound of the gun is louder than their words.
