Description:

So I was going through the Sonniss GDC 2020 game audio bundle and came across the sound of an MG42 firing at the mic from a distance.
It's definitely a cool sound to capture, but imagine for a second that you were a soldier going up against one of these things—or even multiple.
I mean, seriously, it sounds terrifying.
For reference, this thing fires 1,200 bullets per minute, so that’s 20 bullets every second.
Crazy.

    This kinda puts it into perspective. You'd never hear the shot that killed you. I always knew this from a logical POV, but damn

    you can hear the bullets fall before you hear the gun fire

    If that hits you, you're cooked. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

    war is very very scary to think about once you realize that war games have a lot of stuff wrong and the reality was/is just far worse

    for the record, there are guns way faster than this that are used, but those are mostly an aerial combat so you wouldn't see them on the ground. This is scary enough though.
