When we released GUNS, it set a benchmark for weapon libraries with full multitrack recordings. The Remastered Edition of the Construction Kit refines every element so the sounds are sharper, cleaner and easier to use. We have improved stereo imaging, labelling and updated metadata so you find what you need faster. If you own the original, the upgrade is free. If you are new to this amazing sound library then it’s a must have for sound designers working on movies, TV, and games.

What gun sounds we recorded
We recorded a multitude of different firearms: Machine Guns, Pistols, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles and Shotguns. The microphone setup was a 12-Channel setup to capture every tiny aspect of each shot, from pulling the trigger to the very distant tail. The result is a really professional and highly usable gun sounds library.

What our clients think about our Gun Sounds
From time to time our clients directly approach us to tell us what they especially like about a specific sound pack.
We’d like to share this with you.
I am a big fan of BOOM libraries and own most of what they've put out. I work with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and have done many of their shows over the years. I've used BOOM’s libraries on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell, 12oz Mouse, Harvey Birdman, and almost exclusively used their car and weapon libraries on a show called Archer, years ago. I'll be starting new shows soon and will be looking to their libraries for a variety of different elements. Working primarily in Animation, I find the need to do a lot of Foley or look to the more obscure sound libraries to help build things that don't always exist in the real world. Libraries like BOOM’s Sci Fi, Magic, Fire, Destruction and the different animal libraries are hugely helpful.
Ripper Street, Line of Duty, The Edge of Love, The Goob, The Whale, Banana etc.
I used elements of BOOM's 'GUNS' SFX for the Winchester pump action shot guns used in ‘Ripper Street’ & I recently used BOOM's ‘Debris’ SFX for a film which was shown at Milan Expo15 called 'The Family Tree' the 'Debris' SFX came in use for scenes which showed high rise buildings bursting up through the ground. BOOM I ‘Bleeping’ love your SFX!
