Pretty much this, but I don't know how they managed to get the Thompson to sound as it did in BoB without it being indoor. My sole experience shooting one was indoors, and it matched that ripping sound you hear in BoB perfectly. Outside, as seen in your link, you get the distinctive "typewriter" report that earned it its infamous nickname.

Unless your in an enclosed setting like a firing range though, nearly all rifles, pistols, carbines, etc. are going to have a surprising amount of treble. Not saying you're wrong for wanting the guns to have more oomph to 'em, no one likes to hear a weakass gun report if they can help it (I used a BoB soundpack to replace the joke that was the weapon audio in BF1942). But what you heard in the series was, for the most part, as it should have been. Then again, I'm an avid WWII and weapons buff, so I'm a stickler for authenticity.

I'm honestly just glad they didn't use that canned M-60 sound effect that far too many have been using for any automatic weapon report.

A pack of middle aged women walking into the eating establishment you work at.

From what I've seen, I think I'd rather suck-start a Luger than join a frat.

I did not like the sound of the Garand or the 30 cal. machine gun, especially the latter. It sounded too chirpy.lonewolf604

I can't remark on the M1919, as I've yet to fire one (although that should change soon). The Garand's report was quite accurate, although I will say that when the rifle is right in front of the flipping camera it needs to have more oomph, as usually a more distant report is used then. About the only time my Garand doesn't sound as it does in BoB is when I'm right behind it, which is 90% of the time.

the sound effects aren't weak. lonewolf604

Band of Brothers by a sizable margin. It took me half of The Pacific to figure out who everyone was, and I never really connected with either of the characters (although Snafu was amazing). This could have been rectified with a boot camp episode ala BoB, but this would still be undermined by the fact that it covers three different men in different units. The transitions between the big three characters were often sudden and disorienting, and then you have the Australia episode that made the pacing slam into a brick wall at 90mph. They simply tried to cram way too much into too small of a package.
