We've all recorded plenty of drums, gittaaars, bass and voices (I assume), but what are some of the more difficult instruments you guys have recorded and how?

We tried to record gunshots outside once, without much success. The dynamic of the sound was too fast (I guess) and none of the mic/pre-amp combinations worked. We finally went inside a shooting range and got usable results. What we essentially recorded was more of the room reflections than the actual gunshot.
