BOOM Library TACTICAL GUNS – Construction Kit WAV
Tactical Guns covers 25 weapons, from assault rifles and SMGs to shotguns, machine guns, and pistols, with matching handling sounds. Shots were recorded at multiple distances in stereo, Ambisonics, and ORTF-3D for police, military, and crime scenes.
Carried By Police. Issued To Armies. Stolen By Criminals.
Machine Gun, Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun Sounds From Real Service Weapons
When a script calls for a detective’s sidearm, a squad’s service rifle, or the gun a criminal actually carries, most libraries hand you gunfire sorted by caliber, with no sense of who would use it or why.
TACTICAL GUNS starts from a different premise: every one of its 25 weapons is carried by police, issued to armies, or used by criminals. One purchase covers a police procedural, a military scene, and a criminal underworld sequence, each one built from the actual weapons those characters would carry, with matched handling sounds recorded for almost every one.
Carried. Issued. Stolen.
Every weapon in TACTICAL GUNS is one carried by police, issued to armies, or used by criminals. That’s the reason each weapon made the list, not caliber or category alone.
Matched Handling, Weapon by Weapon
Almost every weapon comes with its own recorded handling sounds:
- Grabbing the weapon
- Magazine changes
- Safety manipulation
- Reloading
That’s the sound before the shot, the detail that makes a character read as competent or desperate before they ever fire.
Twenty-Eight Channels, Multiple Distances
Every shot is captured across up to 28 channels, from point-blank range out to 100 meters, delivered across eight named perspectives. Cut between an interior take and a rooftop vantage point using material actually recorded for that perspective.
Built for Any Production Pipeline
UCS-tagged metadata keeps every weapon and fire mode addressable across DAWs, video editors, and game engines alike. For tactical and law-enforcement titles specifically, individual shots stay triggerable for event-driven, physics-based systems.
TACTICAL GUNS – Construction Kit
Every Shot, Multiple Distances, Multiple Perspectives
Every weapon was recorded firing at multiple distances, from point-blank range out to 100 meters, captured across up to 28 channels and delivered across eight named perspectives:
- Collar and Wrist at 0m
- AB pairs at 1m, 2m, and 3m
- MS pairs at 5m and 15m
- XY pairs at 5m and 100m
- Ambisonic (AmbiX) at 50m
- High/Low ORTF-3D array at 20m
The same shot is available close and distant, narrow and wide, from mono to spatial 360° surround.
Authentic Weapon Handling
Nearly every weapon in the library comes with its own recorded handling sounds, including:
- Grabbing the weapon
- Adjusting grip
- Operating the safety or mode selector
- Loading and unloading the magazine
- Reloading at two different speeds
Two weapons use disclosed substitute handling instead of dedicated recordings:
- Kel-Tec KSG: Uses SPAS-15 handling.
- Tavor TAR-21: Uses AKS-74U handling.
