Historic pistol library featuring original mono, stereo and 5.1 recordings of Foley and firing from an 1851 Navy Colt, designed effects and an antique pistol Foley collection from a WWII Webley Colt.
The 1851 model Navy Colt is an iconic six shooter pistol firing a .38 black powder cartridge. This Colt pistol was a favourite side iron of law makers and law breakers in the 1800’s wild west era of the United States. The Navy Colt was also extensively used by the British Army, Confederate States, Ottoman Empire, Dutch Empire, Russian Empire and the French Foreign Legion from its release in 1851 through to the early 1900s.
This library features 29 channel HD recordings, spread over a 250m private gun range. The recordings have been provided without dynamic processing at 96KHz 24bit, a selection of the range recordings and Foley is also included at 192KHz 32bit.
The 5.1 recordings give an excellent sense of depth and space across the 250m range as each of the shots are fired. Stereo and mono microphone positions add further detail, spread out at various distances between 1-50m away from the shooter.
The collection features designed and mixed sound effects from the black powder Colt pistol alongside all of the original recordings used.
In addition to a full workup and mixed sound set of this antique Colt pistol, the library also includes a further extension to the Foley with recordings from a WWII Webley Colt, which is a 1900s era reproduction of the same design pistol.

[Now Updated with Metadata]
Audiobeast is proud to present our first sample library; the first library of its kind to focus entirely on weapons being fired in interior spaces!
The London Warehouse Weapons Library contains over 6 GBs of weapons being fired in a large warehouse, medium warehouse, stairwell, office and small room. 291 WAV files all recorded at 96 khz 24 bit, with heaps of information on microphones used and distance from the firearms.
Various distances were captured, from the DPA4062 on the guns themselves, to the distant other end of the warehouse 50 metres away. To add, some mics were positioned behind doors and walls to capture the occluded gunfire.
As well as all the firing we’ve included all the foley as well, because while convolution reverb is great, nothing beats actual content!
Minimal cleanup on the recordings was carried out very carefully by Steve Whetman in his room at Pinewood Studios, so as not to introduce any artefacts into the recordings, they are presented as raw as possible.
Due to safety restrictions it was not possible to fire the bigger weapons in the smaller spaces, the ceiling was shaking while recording the Assault Rifle in the office and stairwell and came close to collapsing. Physically the Browning M2 .50 calibre Machine Gun would not even fit on the stairwell or in the small room.
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
