The Moscow trio A Rifle Surprise are allegedly named after a magazine article found by one of the band members. It tells of two soldiers, close to death from constant, bloody combat. Each has a single bullet left in his rifle; in a final moment of desperation, the two men shoot at each other - simultaneously. The bullets meet in midair, canceling each other out. Both soldiers survive; hence the surprise!
