Audiobeast is proud to present our first sample library the only library of it’s kind to focus entirely on weapons being fired in interior spaces!

The London Warehouse Weapons Library contains over 6 GBs of weapons being fired in a large warehouse, medium warehouse, stairwell, office and small room.

291 WAV files all recorded at 96 kHz 24 bit, with heaps of information on microphones used and distance from the firearms.

Various distances were captured, from the DPA4062 on the guns themselves, to the distant other end of the warehouse 50 metres away. To add, some mics were positioned behind doors and walls to capture the occluded gunfire.

As well as all the firing we’ve included all the foley as well because while convolution reverb is great, nothing beats actual content!

Minimal cleanup on the recordings was carried out very carefully by Steve Whetman in his room at Pinewood Studios, so as not to introduce any artefacts into the recordings, they are presented as raw as possible.

Weapons fired in the large and medium warehouse spaces –

• Browning M2 .50 Machine Gun
• Steyr HS .50 M1 Sniper Rifle
• H&K 416 5.56 Assault Rifle
• Remington 870 12g Pump Action Shotgun
• Brown Bess Black Powder Musket
• Colt M1911 .45 ACP Pistol

Weapons fired in the stairwell, office and small room spaces –

• H&K 416 5.56 Assault Rifle
• Colt M1911 .45 ACP Pistol

Due to safety restrictions, it was not possible to fire the bigger weapons in the smaller spaces, the ceiling was shaking while recording the Assault Rifle in the office and stairwell and came close to collapsing. Physically the Browning M2 .50 calibre Machine Gun would not even fit on the stairwell or in the small room.

This was a great session to run, the location was very unique and as you can imagine, there aren’t many warehouses in London you can get permission to fire any sort of weapons in let alone a .50 cal machine gun and .50 cal sniper rifle!

Every safety precaution was taken during the session and the Metropolitan Police were notified.
