Guns

Gunshots, Gun Handling and Ricochets

Weapon audio for action films, shooters and trailers, split into guns firing, gun handling for the movement around each shot, and bullet sounds, with ricochets for missed shots. Most shots in a scene use two or three of these together.

Category information

Gunshots and file quality

Gunshots are almost all attack, and MP3 encoding can smear that sharp front edge. A film mix or game build should get the WAV; temp tracks can live with the MP3.

Category help

Making gunfire sound right

Give each shot a tail that fits the location: short and tight indoors, a long rolling echo outdoors or between buildings.
Mix shooters by distance: full and sharp for the gun in frame, thinner and more reverberant for gunfire off screen.
After a burst, let a few ricochets or bullet sounds land around the target so the shots have somewhere to go.
Sync a muzzle flash to every shot, and cover reloads with Lock N' Load sounds.
