I really dislike the sound of some guns. Worst of all is the stormrifle which sounds like a fart can.

It really should sound more like this: https://youtu.be/1nCKcvrg04c

Fear not, that sound is on my to-do list.

Few things about this.One: It's not meant to pack NEARLY the amount of punch as a BAR. It's essentially a prototype assault rifle. (compare it to the LMG)

Two: The sounds for it are built off of source files recorded from an AK-47 from 12 different mics.

Three: It's one of the older gun-sounds in the game now.

Originally, I wanted to stay as accurate to actual firearms recordings as possible, but guns don't always sound the way people think they do. On top of that, the POV is not in the character's hands like a first-person shooter (or that video).

With more recent sounds I've pushed pretty hard into making them 'feel' better rather than being 'accurate' which seems to have gone over a lot better.
