Not bringing ear protection to shoot guns? Very well.

 I'm a bit of a gun nut. So naturally I visit the range often.

I took a trip with a friend to an outdoor range and after a while of shooting, this other group shows up. I was coming back from setting up more targets when I notice a kid with them who's not wearing ear protection. One if the adults with him notices my concern and attempts to reassure me saying that "he won't be shooting today" I ask if they have hearing protection and he says "we'll be fine, keep shooting"  I then empty a 20 round magazine of 7.62×51. I look over after a couple of shots and notice they are all coving their ears with their hands

Depending on the rifle, 7.62×51 can generate around 150 decibels.

Permanent ear damage can occur at 120 decibels for any length of time.

They left as soon as my magazine was empty.

Edit: the kid put his hands over his ears before I started shooting, I did not endanger his hearing
