Cannon Sound Effects

Cannon sound effects from wooden warships to tank turrets. Big guns, all of them. Age of sail broadsides and chain shot come with their impacts, near and far. There's black powder cannon next to muskets and powder kegs, and tank guns firing and reloading. Designed cannon shots come dressed with whooshes and debris for games.

On a ship, cannon fire comes as part of the whole battle: broadsides and chain shot, which was a pair of balls joined by chain and fired to tear up rigging. Nasty stuff. The naval recordings give each weapon close up and far off, so a gun can be on your own deck or across the water. Black powder cannon also sits beside Musket fire and powder kegs going up. The modern side is tank guns firing and reloading, with shells and distant blasts, and more weight again in Artillery. Designed shots with whooshes and debris suit trailers and mobile games.
