WORLD WAR II FIREARMS – Designed WAV

Bring your World War II-themed games and movies to the next level with this biggest-ever World War II firearms library. Recorded at an extraordinarily high quality with the most modern techniques, it includes weapons from all sides of the infamous conflict.

Containing 25 renowned World War II firearms, from the first assault rifle to pistols with designs still in use, this pack has the most important weapons of the Second World War period. With both shots and mechanical sounds, it is an absolute must for any sound design for movies and interactive media focused on mid-20th century combat.

A MASSIVE COLLECTION

With 25 of the most well-known World War II firearms, like the MG42 and the M1 Garand, this library is presented in stunningly crisp detail and character. With the Designed pack we went even further in creating for you the perfect, ready-to-use sounds.

3 SETS OF SHOTS

Each shot was designed and processed with three styles to coax out different use-scenarios.

  • Mechanical: Close-up sounds a gun makes when firing; shots are light and subtle with short tails
  • Modern: Precise and powerful with long tails, perfect for the modern first-person-shooter game
  • Punch: Designed for an extra impact and robust character

TRUE DRAG-AND-DROP

Our Designed sounds are always crafted with true drag-and-drop use in mind. With the designed gun mechanics completing the sonic profile of the shot, you can rest assured these sounds can be added where you need them without any additional need for revising. Combined with the Construction Kit to add any extra character or effects, this is a truly powerful toolbox of weapons sounds to have.

WHAT WE RECORDED

We scouted for a recording location that would be perfect for truly astounding firearm reverb tails, which not only make the shot sound naturally bigger, but also keeps it flexible enough for indoor use or to place it anywhere else. With an array of sub machine guns, light machine guns, pistols, and rifles, we hauled up the hillside and began shooting.

For every firearm, we’ve included handling sounds such as pickups, reloads, cocking, and dryfire.

WHAT MAKES WORLD WAR II FIREARMS SPECIAL?

As time advances, sounds from truly genuine weapons of the World War II-era are becoming increasingly hard to find. We handled only authentic weapons made during the period, and no later reproductions.

30-CHANNEL MULTITRACK

WORLD WAR II FIREARMS was recorded with a 30-channel microphone setup. This extensive positioning allows you to place your shooter virtually anywhere you want in relation to the gunshot. The 30 separate channels are only included in the Construction Kit. In the Designed edition, we created pre-designed sounds in various different styles by using different combinations of the 30-channel array.

SHAPE THE SOUND THE WAY YOU WANT

With all these channel options, using your DAW you can mix the different microphones exactly the way you want to achieve exactly the sound you are after. For example: Do you need a more mechanical sound? Simply boost the mic that was attached to the shooter’s trigger, wrist, or collar. Need something with more distance? The Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic captured the sound from 100 meters away. This setup provides for the ultimate level of customization in your sound design.
