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.
A Pro Tools session is included (2020.3) that takes all the effort out of arranging the content for mixing. You can drop in your own routing, processing and mixing touches according to taste and quickly establish a new sound set for the picture or video game you are working with.

The Master Gun AK-103 Sound Effects library is recorded using a large array of various microphone configurations, we recorded shots from several distances in an open shooting range in the Nevada Desert.
Our raw shots features a total of 20 channels including 10 Stereo sources. All of our close and mid spaced pair Microphone options can be used as two independent mono microphones. The right side of every spaced pair will have more Mech than its left side counterpart.
Every single gun has been recorded using the same gain settings on the same recorders, and we have level matched each microphone option between the same calibers so your 50ft microphones will be the same or similar across all libraries that share the same calibers. This makes mixing large amounts of weapons easier as the loudness and character of each gun is predictable.
Our foley features a total of a stereo A/B pair of Neumann KMR81i mts which are placed on both the left and right of the gun. All of the foley has been recorded at 192kHz for extreme processing workflows.
Created from the ground up we’ve designed a collection of game-ready mixes for your next project. If you are creating your own custom weapons system and would like to use our designed mixes in your project, you can use our no-tail options which are our realistic designed mixes without our tail layers. Just drag, and drop.
All files contain extensive metadata to provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools. Some digital audio workstations feature an included search tool that can also read embedded metadata.

In addition to the unsuppressed shot recordings, we’ve also sampled the AK-74 with a suppressor attachment. The suppressed AK-74 was sampled right after the unsuppressed recordings using the exact same microphone setup as the unsuppressed version. This provides you a seamless transition between the unsuppressed and the suppressed recordings.
The suppressed recordings also have the added benefit of muting the shot layers which helps bring out the intricate details of the mechanism (mech layers).
Because adding a suppressor to the firearm increases the weapons muzzle velocity, the fire rate of the suppressed weapon is slightly faster than its unsuppressed counterpart.

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.
