The way I recommend ringing the barrels is to remove them from the gun and remove the ejectors. Support the barrels over a finger by the hook, and ring by tapping near the center with a piece of wood or the plastic handle of a screw driver. The note you hear should be a bell-like tone similar to a wind chime. The reason is because you have made a wind chime out of the barrels. Maximum vibration amplitude is at both ends of the barrels. Ejectors can keep the ends from vibrating freely.
