I did and have seen a hose burst many times. I saw a concrete trucks hydraulics break and start gushing all over a brand new Mustang. Nobody heard a thing and we didnt know until we saw the hydraulic fluid and the chute stopped moving. The hydraulics on my machines have broken many times. Sometimes the hoses get pinched and burst. Sometimes theres a failure at a connection. It doesnt sound like a gunshot. At all. Nobody would ever confuse it as such.
The fact it shot 30 feet wasnt the pressure in the hose initially, it was the fact the bucket was up in the air and when it did lose pressure the bucket started dropping and that forced the fluid to squirt out.
Ive blown lots of hydraulic lines. Dont overstate things. They do not sound anything like gunfire and arent loud.
Well, I'm not sure if you saw the video of the fluid leak, but the thing was spraying/gushing a lot of fluid over 30+ feet.
