gunshots have more of a crack to them, where as fireworks have a softer bang.
another clue is the echo. fireworks explode high in the air, making the sound reach evenly over an area, where as a gunshot at street level will echo distinctly off of surfaces and in different directions.
gunshots are also generally very repetitive fired in quick secession, and fireworks have a distinct pause between bursts.

You don’t hear sirens after fireworks?.. 🤔

Yeah! There is literally a metallic sound to a gun shot. Easy to recognize.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
Yeah. When the bullet whizzes past your head it sounds like a huge June bug that is also really fast.

Yes. I can even usually tell if it's a handgun or long gun.

Fireworks, auto backfire, gunshots; each quite distinctive.
