Has anyone here ever fired a full power .357 Magnum round in a dark enclosed space like a bedroom at night before?

All those who read on the Internet you won't hear the round go off and the flash won't bother you for sure have not done so. The flash from a .357 Magnum round being set off at 4AM in your bedroom is BLINDING and can not be ignored. The sound wave is also deafening and you will hear it. Not all Internet lore is true!

Now I'm not telling anyone not to shoot but a .38 Special will be much more manageable in all ways than a .357 Magnum @ 4AM in your bedroom.
