Artillery Sound Effects

Artillery sound effects for when the war arrives from over the horizon. Howitzers firing and shells whistling in to land. Distant barrages roll on, and naval guns leave tails that go on for ages. Black powder cannons for older wars, ramrod and powder included. Then the casings dropping after.

Artillery is mostly about distance. Beside the gun it's a crack and a shove of air, far off it's a dull thump, and under the shell it's a whistle and then nothing good. For period films, the black powder side covers field and naval Cannon fire, with cannonballs hitting water, wood and stone. A Howitzer barrage under a battlefield scene works best kept low and constant, with the odd close Explosion on top as a reminder. You get both kinds of recording to build it from: clean firing with very long tails for making your own space, and designed shots with mechanical parts and debris already layered in.
