The Suomi KP/-31 Designed Sound captures the rapid, sharp burst of the Finnish submachine gun famed for its reliability and accuracy. Introduced in 1931, the Suomi KP/-31 fires the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge from a drum or box magazine, delivering a high rate of fire with excellent control. Its robust construction and effective muzzle brake made it a favorite among Finnish troops during the Winter War and World War II. Known for its distinctive mechanical cycling and crisp firing sound, the Suomi KP/-31 proved deadly in close combat and urban warfare. The weapon features a wooden stock, simple blowback operation, and a quick-change barrel design. Post-war, it influenced many later submachine gun designs worldwide.

The Suomi KP/-31 Designed sound demonstration starts with three combined layers: “Start”, “Loop” and “End”. Then it plays four randomized “OneShot” sounds for close-distance fire. After that, you hear the reload sound. Next in the same demo, you hear the distant sounds. These include “Dist_Start”, “Dist_Loop” and “Dist_End” layers, followed by four random “Dist_OneShot” variations. All sounds in this preview are unprocessed, just like in the library. You can also hear similar sounds in our Unity and Unreal Engine projects. Visit our website or YouTube channel for examples.

The PPS-43 Designed Sound captures the iconic audio of the Soviet PPS-43 submachine gun. This compact weapon was developed during World War II for close-quarters combat. It was originally made for tank crews and support units. Soldiers quickly adopted it thanks to its simplicity, low cost, and reliability. The PPS-43 fires the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge. It performs well in urban warfare and dense terrain. The folding metal stock and stamped steel receiver make it lightweight and easy to produce. Today, the PPS-43 remains a symbol of WWII Soviet infantry and is still in limited use around the world.

The Mauser C96 Designed Sound captures the sharp, metallic bark of one of the most distinctive semi-automatic pistols ever made. Introduced by German arms manufacturer Mauser in 1896, the C96 gained instant recognition for its unique design—featuring a fixed internal magazine in front of the trigger, a long barrel, and a wooden holster that doubles as a shoulder stock. It fires the 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge at high velocity, giving it impressive range and penetration for a handgun. The C96 earned the nickname “Broomhandle” due to the shape of its grip and became widely used by military officers, revolutionaries, and adventurers across Europe, Asia, and South America. It saw action in numerous conflicts, including World War I, the Russian Civil War, the Chinese Civil War, and World War II. The pistol’s mechanical sound—marked by a distinct charging click and rapid semi-automatic fire—became iconic. Its robust construction, speed, and historical aura made it a favorite in film, literature, and modern digital media.

The MG-42 Designed Sound captures the fast, thunderous rhythm of one of the most iconic machine guns of World War II. Introduced by Nazi Germany in 1942, the MG-42 quickly gained a fearsome reputation on the battlefield. It fires the powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge at an extremely high rate of fire—up to 1,200–1,500 rounds per minute—earning it nicknames like “Hitler’s Buzzsaw.” The weapon uses a recoil-operated mechanism and belt-fed ammunition system, allowing sustained fire with rapid barrel changes. German forces deployed the MG-42 in various roles: mounted on tripods for defensive positions, on vehicles, and carried by infantry with bipods. Its design emphasized reliability, ease of production, and overwhelming suppressive firepower. The terrifying sound of its high-rate burst became instantly recognizable and had a strong psychological effect on enemy troops. Post-war, many nations adopted or copied its design, leading to successors like the MG3.

The Mosin-Nagant Designed Sound captures the deep, powerful report of the legendary Russian bolt-action rifle. First adopted by the Imperial Russian Army in 1891, the Mosin-Nagant became one of the most mass-produced military rifles in history, with over 37 million units made. It fires the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, known for its range and stopping power, and feeds from a five-round internal magazine. The rifle features a robust bolt-action mechanism, a hardwood stock, and iron sights calibrated for long-distance accuracy. Soviet snipers such as Vasily Zaitsev and Lyudmila Pavlichenko famously used scoped versions of the Mosin-Nagant during World War II. Its ruggedness, low production cost, and battlefield effectiveness earned it global recognition. Variants of the rifle served in dozens of armies and appeared in conflicts throughout the 20th century. Even today, the Mosin-Nagant sees use in training, hunting, and in some active combat zones.

The Gewehr 43 Designed Sound delivers the sharp, precise report of the German semi-automatic rifle developed during World War II. Introduced in 1943, the Gewehr 43 combined features from earlier designs like the Soviet SVT-40 and the German G41 series. It fires the powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge using a gas-operated, short-stroke piston system and feeds from a detachable 10-round magazine. The rifle offered increased rate of fire and ease of use compared to bolt-action rifles, improving infantry firepower on the battlefield. Its wooden stock and metal components create a solid, reliable platform, while the rifle’s mechanical cycling produces a distinctive, rhythmic sound. The Gewehr 43 was deployed primarily on the Eastern Front and saw action in late-war battles. Though produced in smaller numbers than other German rifles, it influenced post-war semi-automatic designs.

The SKS Designed Sound delivers the crisp, semi-automatic crack of the Soviet SKS carbine, a weapon that bridges the gap between traditional rifles and modern assault rifles. Developed by Sergei Simonov in 1945, the SKS fires the 7.62×39mm cartridge—later made famous by the AK-47. It uses a short-stroke gas piston system and features a ten-round fixed magazine, usually reloaded with stripper clips. Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, the SKS served as the standard service rifle for Soviet forces in the immediate post-WWII era. Although quickly replaced by the AK platform in the USSR, the SKS remained in frontline service across Eastern Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world for decades. Its solid wood stock, folding bayonet, and distinctive action give it a recognizable profile and sound. The SKS excels in mid-range accuracy and rugged durability, making it popular among hunters, militias, and military forces.

The SKS Designed sound demonstration uses 5 random “OneShot” sounds for close distance. After that, you hear the reload sound.
