Weapon Sounds in Games

[Dowly]

I like my sound to be sharp and short. As little bass as possible, metallic "PAK"s. Not the usual "BOWWHHhhh", I hate the echo in the end of most sounds I've heard.

If anyone has seen a russian war movie called "9th company" might remember the scene where they are still in training and they are blasting off in the range. The sound of Dragunov when the guy shoots is perfect! Makes me drool everytime I hear it.

You can watch the range scene from here, the sniper shot is at 02:19

It sounds alot better on the DVD, the video compression obviously has lowered the sound quality in this one.

Yeah. good call..a metallic "PAK" is about right, actually. LOL I think also if I looked long enough through this indexed list of Batman sound effects, I'd find the perfect one: http://www.batmania.com.ar/paginas/s...s_cantidad.htm

I agree, I find in most games, the sniper rifles have an exxagerated, drawn-out, Hollywood sound to them, usually many decibels louder than any other effect in the game.

The weapon sounds in Red Orchestra are perfect. For example, the Mosin Nagant has a really rustic clank when you rebolt and reload, instead of CoD2 just having a "chunk-chunk", the Mosin on RO sounds more like "cl-CHINK-cl-THUNK"

Its awesome to hear when you reload too, as the animation involves really stuffing the clip into the top of the gun and you hear the bullets lock into place. Then you get shot in the eyeball.

You should have done what Baldric did, carved your name into a bullet so you would have the bullet with your name on it that way you would never get shot, because you wouldnt shoot yourself and the odds that there is a second bullet with your name on it are very small indeed

There's another thing round here that's very small indeed, Baldrick.

Your brain, for example, is so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open there wouldnt be ennouh inside to cover a small water biscuit.
God I love that series.

Try shooting a .58 caliber black-powder muzzle-loader sometime...you hear a nice resounding BOOM that makes everyone at the range think you set off a cannon!
