A neighbours' row over music being played too loudly allegedly led to a man firing two shots and a knife being drawn.
Loud music was heard coming from Marcel Grigoras' house in Clitheroe "for several nights" before it led to a confrontation on February 24, last year, it was claimed at Preston Crown Court.
Tony Kimmance, who later allegedly fired the shots from a gun, is believed to have had enough and banged on Grigoras' house at about 8pm.
And another neighbour, Mr Gloriani, who had been eating dinner with his wife, heard the banging coming from outside and went to the front door to ask Grigoras to turn down the music.
But Grigoras, 34, went to the kitchen and picked up a vegetable knife, before returning to the doorstep with it held out in front of him, the court heard.
He repeatedly asked why he shouldn't play his music, as Kimmance, 37, stepped back, and Mr Gloriani shouted for his wife to call the police, reported LancashireLive.
Kimmance returned to his own home, but is believed to have been concerned for Mr Gloriani's safety who had remained and so headed back with a black pistol-style handgun.
Mr Gloriani told both men to go back to their own houses, but Kimmance fired two shots from the gun into the air, the court heard.
And at that point, Grigoras returned to his house while the music went off.
Officers from Lancashire Constabulary arrived at the scene where Grigoras, who smelled strongly of alcohol, claimed Kimmance held the gun to his head.
Over the road, Kimmance admitted getting a BB gun out after Grigoras threatened him with a knife.
Both men's houses were searched with two knives recovered from Grigoras' home. At Kimmance's property they found pepper spray and a suspected Taser. He later showed them where he had hidden the gun, behind a bin in his back garden.
Grigoras, of Brook Street, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to affray and possession of a bladed article, and Kimmance, of Salthill Road, Clitheroe, admitted possession of two stun guns, both of which were found to be operational, possession of an imitation forearm with intent to cause fear of violence, and possession of cannabis.
Judge Guy Mathieson, sentencing, described the incident as "entirely antisocial" and sentenced Grigoras to 18 months and Kimmance to 20 months behind bars.
