Weak K98 and MN Fire sounds

[JoshuaC]

Am I the only one that thinks the K98 and the MN's have a rather weak unrealistic sound to them?

The sounds for these guns in the mod had a nice realistic kick to them and made the guns feel powerfull.

 

[Hyperion2010]

Turn your volume up (and I'm not being an ass) it makes everything sound MUCH more realisitic.

 

[JoshuaC]

It's not a volume problem it's the sounds them selfs they don't sound that powerfull compared to the other weapons in the game.

They really sound fine, and uniquely identifiable from range too!


Have you tried playing with your bass/treble settings? Rifles have hardly anything that could be described as 'bass' to them when they fire, so if you have your bass turned up (Even a little) it could be exaggerating the other weapons enough that the rifle sounds weak.


If you just want it to sound more 'boomy' well, can't help you there. Rifles don't go 'boom' they go 'crack'

I've fired a K98 and I think the sound is extremely accurate. I found that if I raise my bass to about half way, it makes the gun sounds more lively too.

Exactly

There could also be a lack of creditable examples...Most people who have fired mausers and/or mosins would have more than likely been at a range...even Outdoor randeg have aquard acustics (spellcheck lol).
On a battlefield there is alot of defferent objects for the sounds to bounce off of. So the sounds that you may have heard by a mosin/mauser might not be quite what they would sound like if there were building/trees/hills/vehicles/so on for the sound to echo off of...Or the opposit effect if there is a lack of these objects...It would sound weaker...However i do agree that some of the weapon sounds Should be more intense when in a closer proxi to objects/inside buildings and all that jaz. just a few tid bits for people to consider.

The K98 fires a 8mm round (almost) It wasent many weeks ago i fired a 6.5x55mm swedish rifle, and i can tell you all that the smaller 6,5x55mm round doens sound "crack". There is a really "bang umpf", so I belive that the bigger round in a K98 should sound something the same, a quite big bang with a umpf in the sound .


But I have never fired the K98 so i Cant be 1000% sure about that.

 

[JoshuaC]

That's why I loved the Mod's rifle sounds they had a nice powerfull sound. Too bad you can't use custom sounds in Roost .

The mauser (to be exact) fires a 7.92X57 round...It makes a sharp crack...
The mosin fires a 7.62X54 round...and believe me, the Mosin has a more beastly kick to it than the mauser. The Mosins sounds a full on crack/boom.
haha
If you get a chance to head to a outdoors sports store...pick up a mosin...their fun and most places sell them (If they have em) for about $85-120. the ammo for em verries tho.

Are you kidding me??? The k98 sounded lame in 3.3 (it sounded the dogs bollox in 1.0 mind) but now it just sounds purrrrrrfect!!

 

[druid]

I think the sounds for the soviet bolts and the stv are pure secks.

 

[gonzman]

Across 2 sound cards I've found they sound a bit too blunt to me, need more sharpness in the sound, perhaps a higher pitch sound.

 

[shadowmoses]

I think that we can all agree that the sounds could be a bit louder in general...yes?

 

[myzko]

no plx, everyoen just tell me to lower the speakers allready, and this is not becouse of arty, but becouse when I fire my guns

Here is a video I made of a few different WWII rifles. I'm missing a Lee Enfield and an Arisaka but this video does have the rifles in question. Its not very long but it is high quality for the internet so it might take a few minutes to load.

BTW, I hope you like the K98k better than my cameraman did!

LoL at the cameraman 'OUCH!'

The m44 was the only distinctive bolt action in that vid! Just goes to show that in reality rifles do sound the same.

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed watching it

The sounds may be due to the Sound Card and/or settings. For example I went to PCBang, and I noticed the sounds were horrible. However, after playing with the Sound settings and changing it to Hardware + EAX or whatever, it was what it should sound like. Give it a shot.
