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.
Here’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 gun’s barrel influence its sound?
All of these and many more questions will be answered in my “Ultimate guide to gun and projectile sounds”, aiming at providing the most comprehensive overview over all things pew and whoosh in one place. In-depth without becoming overwhelming.
