FIELD RECORDINGS FROM A FORGOTTEN ARSENAL
WORLD WAR I FIREARMS is a library of authentic WWI weapon sound effects — recorded outdoors with original rifles, revolvers, and shotguns. It captures not just the gunshots, but the full mechanical reality: cocking, reloading, dryfires, misfires, and handling. Multiple mic perspectives across two contrasting environments deliver natural space and variation. Built for professional sound designers who need real material with real character.
Authentic WWI Weapons
Original rifles, revolvers, and shotguns from the First World War – recorded on location with expertise. No replicas, no modern stand-ins. Just the real thing.
Complete Mechanical Detail
Includes everything from dryfires and reloads to bolt actions and handling. These elements bring weight and realism to your design, far beyond the shot itself.
Natural Acoustic Environments
Recorded in a carefully chosen location to capture authentic tail behaviour. Includes close, mid, and far mic positions for spatial control.
Formats for Flexible Workflows
Stereo, Ambisonics, and ORTF3D formats ensure the library fits into post, game, or immersive production pipelines without compromise.
Every Action Captured
Reloads, dryfires, cocking, and handling sounds recorded cleanly and with control. Over 13 GB of raw World War I firearm sound effects, ideal for layering, Foley work, or tension-building moments.
Multi-Mic Outdoor Recordings
The weapons have been recorded with multiple mic placements across two acoustic environments. This gives you options for realism, distance, and flexibility.
