Magnum sound effects, mostly the revolver kind. Big Magnum handguns fired at different distances, single shots and quick doubles, recorded raw and cleaned up. Then the handling, from the cylinder swinging out to the hammer cocked back. And for something completely different, a big farm tractor that shares the name, recorded inside the cab and out.
A Magnum round is a heavier load than a standard Handgun fires, and you hear it: a bigger boom and more of the room ringing afterwards. A Revolver also has its own handling sounds, the cylinder clicking round and the heavy hammer, which is where these recordings put a lot of care. Westerns and cop films use them. The tractor is a happy accident of the name, with engine roars and revs from several mic positions for farm scenes.
