Modern Shotguns is a premium collection of game, sports and defence rifles, complete with Foley effects for each weapon. This library features traditional shotguns and pump action shotguns shooting nitroglycerine cartridges. Single and semi automatic shotguns are provided with recordings from each firing mode. Additional content has been recorded at multiple locations providing overhead wizz-bys, Foley from different brands of shotgun manufacturer and alternative tail recordings.
This library features 29 channel HD recordings, spread over a 250m private gun range. The recordings are 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 a selection of shotguns alongside all of the original recordings used.
In addition to a full workup and mixed sound set from a range of shotguns, the library also includes a further extension to the Foley with recordings from a Remington 870.
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.
Spread around the world, this is the rifle of Zaitsev and millions of other Soviets and non-Soviets alike, sounding off through the bloodier moments of the 20th century, and sometimes this century too.
Shooting was recorded at the outdoor range, with additional handling foley taken at the studio. The all-angle library includes the recording of distant shots on Sennheiser Ambeo, and on Neumann U87s in quadro formation. Our mic-ing and capturing process has been intricate enough to give you all the sound versatility you’ll need for use in a fully dynamic project, and also for the ability for these sounds to pass for not just authentic Mosin fire, but also for a generic bolt-action internal magazine-fed ‘old rifle’ sound.
Also included are several pre-designed mixed sounds for quick-use without additional mixing needed. Our comprehensive library of this WW1, WW2, and freedom fighting classic weapon stands ready to fire!
Ready, aim…FIRE!
Pull the trigger on this one-of-a-kind antique gun library! Using a multi-mic configuration (comprising the Sennheiser MKH50, Røde NTG-3 and Line Audio CM4 Stereo Pair) our Audio Craftsmen recorded a professional armourer manipulating two authentic 19th century muskets. The result is a carefully edited collection of intimate sounds, including opening and closing the frizzen, dry firing, trigger fidgeting, dropping and dragging the gun on various surfaces, loading with ramrods, blowing into the barrel, hands sliding and twisting across the gun, slamming the stock, grabbing the barrel and more!
Our multi-mic set-up means for most of the actions you can enjoy different perspectives while designing technical scenes. Perfect for Film, TV, documentary and game projects that feature flintlock or caplock muskets, rifles or pistols. This library is a real Foley treat!
Sounds have been separated into the following categories:
General Handling: Hand twists, grabs and slides.
Scraping: The stock (butt) of the gun scraping across wood and cobbles.
Loading: Actions involving the ramrod and barrel.
Mechanisms: Manipulation of cock, caplock, frizzen and trigger.
Groundwork: Anytime the gun is in contact with concrete, earth, sand and wood surfaces. Includes the gun dropping, falling and being picked up, as well as the stock slamming onto the ground.
Each file contains multiple performances of the named action.
All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 192kHz, and have been tagged with extensive UCS metadata for ease of use.

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.
