Does anyone know any good web sites where I can get good weapon sound effects? I have tried a few Google searches but all I have found are very generic sounds.

Go to the local airport...place one gallon of jet fuel inside a milk jug. Drive to the local supermarked, throw a bunch of wood and stuff on top of the milk jug. Start recording and light the jet fuel on fire!


DISCLAIMER: I do not actually recommend you try this. In fact, don't try this. Not at home, not anywhere.


Seriously, try fooling around with sounds, combining them with others, using the different effects options that you can find. Say, a gunshot with a banjo-string-pluck and an echo?

The milk jug – jet fuel thing sounds kind of fun.

Could you then suggest some sound editing programs?

I'm (well, was, as I have no time now) working on the improvment pack 2.0.

These are my audio sources.

If you dont mind plunking down cash for your audio editor, Sound Forge Studio is a good, low cost editor to use.  Now though I believe it's called Screenblast Sound Forge 7.  I use 6.0e and it's niiice.  
I've managed to re-work existing beam sounds and tweak thier frequencies, re-record them and plug them into freespace 2.

Uhm, will you release them here ?

I am on a tight budget so I am limited to Freeware.
