Containing 25 renowned World War II firearms, from the first assault rifle to pistols with designs still in use, this pack has the most important weapons of the Second World War period. With both shots and mechanical sounds, it is an absolute must for any sound design for movies and interactive media focused on mid-20th century combat.
A MASSIVE COLLECTION
With 25 of the most well-known World War II firearms, like the MG42 and the M1 Garand, this library is presented in stunningly crisp detail and character. With the Designed pack we went even further in creating for you the perfect, ready-to-use sounds.
3 SETS OF SHOTS
Each shot was designed and processed with three styles to coax out different use-scenarios.
- Mechanical:
Close-up sounds a gun makes when firing; shots are light and subtle with short tails
- Modern:
Precise and powerful with long tails, perfect for the modern first-person-shooter game
- Punch:
Designed for an extra impact and robust character
TRUE DRAG-AND-DROP
Our Designed sounds are always crafted with true drag-and-drop use in mind. With the designed gun mechanics completing the sonic profile of the shot, you can rest assured these sounds can be added where you need them without any additional need for revising. Combined with the Construction Kit to add any extra character or effects, this is a truly powerful toolbox of weapons sounds to have.
WHAT WE RECORDED
We scouted for a recording location that would be perfect for truly astounding firearm reverb tails, which not only make the shot sound naturally bigger, but also keeps it flexible enough for indoor use or to place it anywhere else. With an array of sub machine guns, light machine guns, pistols, and rifles, we hauled up the hillside and began shooting.
For every firearm, we’ve included handling sounds such as pickups, reloads, cocking, and dryfire.

WHAT MAKES WORLD WAR II FIREARMS SPECIAL?
As time advances, sounds from truly genuine weapons of the World War II-era are becoming increasingly hard to find. We handled only authentic weapons made during the period, and no later reproductions.
30-CHANNEL MULTITRACK
WORLD WAR II FIREARMS was recorded with a 30-channel microphone setup. This extensive positioning allows you to place your shooter virtually anywhere you want in relation to the gunshot. The 30 separate channels are only included in the Construction Kit. In the Designed edition, we created pre-designed sounds in various different styles by using different combinations of the 30-channel array.
SHAPE THE SOUND THE WAY YOU WANT
With all these channel options, using your DAW you can mix the different microphones exactly the way you want to achieve exactly the sound you are after. For example: Do you need a more mechanical sound? Simply boost the mic that was attached to the shooter’s trigger, wrist, or collar. Need something with more distance? The Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic captured the sound from 100 meters away. This setup provides for the ultimate level of customization in your sound design.
COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE
This BOOM Library of creature sounds comes as WAV files, meaning you can import and work with them in any software that can handle this file type.
RICH METADATA EMBEDDED
To provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible, all files contain extensive metadata like file description & keywords to quickly find the sounds you’re looking for. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools.
