About this sound

“That's a big freaking pistol..”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in January 2024

This is a .50 caliber handgun firing two shots, about 4 and a half seconds total. Each one's really loud, a hard crack up front and then a long fading tail that fills most of the clip. That's a big gun, not a little pop.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It peaks at +1.4 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 3 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −6.7 LUFS, about 12 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
