Gun Cock sound effects, the slide rack or hammer click that tells everyone things just got serious. Short and very satisfying. They come from real firearms recorded up close, pistols through to rifles, with the reloads and handling around them. In a film, the cock often does more work than the shot.
Every gun cocks differently. A Pistol slide is a quick clack and snap, a pump shotgun is a long chunky rack, and a Revolver hammer is a dry little click. Matching the right one to the gun on screen is what makes armourers nod. The recordings here cover the handling as well as the shots. Thrillers use the cock as a threat. Games use it on every reload.
