The Ultimate Guide to Gun & Projectile Sounds
Sound designer Leon Beilmann has released an impressive video guide to everything related to guns, projectiles - and sound. Check out his huge deep-dive below - and as a bonus, we've also added legendary weapon recordist Watson Wu's huge guide to recording weapon sounds.

Hereโ€™s Leon Beilmann official introduction:


What does it sound like to get shot at? What is a supersonic boom, or bullet crack? Why does artillery scream? Why do bullets whizz or whoosh? And how does the length of a gunโ€™s barrel influence its sound?

All of these and many more questions will be answered in my โ€œUltimate guide to gun and projectile soundsโ€, aiming at providing the most comprehensive overview over all things pew and whoosh in one place. In-depth without becoming overwhelming.
