SOUND LIBRARIES
Listen for Yourself
The Pistol is a professional firearm sound library built for game developers, sound designers and film creators who need both realism and creative flexibility. It’s crafted from multi-layered recordings of real handguns und offers a detailed, powerful set of sounds that are ready to shape into whatever your project demands.
At the heart of the collection are two weapons, the Glock 17 (9mm, blank-firing) and the Glock 23 (.40 S&W). Every sound was recorded in 96 kHz / 24-bit and carefully layered to give you full control over tone, energy and depth
The library includes a wide range of clean gunshots along with mechanical actions and handling movements. You’ll find multiple performance styles like fast, stealthy and neutral, giving you the freedom to adapt each element to different scenes and gameplay moments.
If you’re using the UCS Edition, you’ll also get access to the raw source recordings, captured using a multi-mic setup. These let you mix your own perspective, whether close, mid or tail, directly inside your project.
And while The Pistol captures the real thing with precision, it also goes beyond. A set of designed weapons pushes the library into more stylized territory. One highlight is the G35 Cyclone, a fictional minigun created entirely from pistol material. It turns focused firepower into something massive and cinematic.
