Pistol sound effects with a sharp crack and a quick tail. Modern service handguns and old wartime sidearms, fired close and far off, plus frontier guns for a western. Out in the open the shot rolls off the trees or the quarry walls. Shells hit the ground after, on concrete, wood, metal and snow. Small details like that sell a gunfight.

A pistol shot is shorter and snappier than a rifle's, with less low end, so it lives or dies on the crack and the space after it. The outdoor recordings come at several distances in different places, so the shot can sit as near or as far away as the camera. Between shots there's the handling, the slide racking and the Magazine going in. Shell casings bounce in afterwards. For games, designed variations hit harder, and sci-fi blaster pistols cover anything set in the future. Wider Gunshot libraries sit alongside, with rifles and heavier guns for when the fight escalates. Thrillers and shooters reach for these several times a scene.
