Same thing happens whenever someone pulls a knife. It always sounds like there whipping out a broad sword or something. Sometimes they get carried away when editing and dubbing the film.

Most of the time it is to fill the dead air in that scene. Most people watching a movie if you had just dead air no sound then they believe there is something wrong with the film. Also if you did not know this already all the sound is dubbed in the movie. The blanks we use have a great sound to them but a show will dub in the gunfire afterward.

Which is why I love a movie when someone takes out a gun or a knife, there is nothing but SILENCE!

As Steve pointed out, the sound effects you hear are always added in post-production. It really is just the fault of the sound designers/folly editors. They think it sounds cool to hear a hammer cocking every time a gun is drawn, even if the actor is quite clearly not actually, physically cocking the weapon on camera. And even if the gun is hammerless, like a Glock.

Movies made by Micheal Mann always have good gun sounds and they sound more realistic and not much changed in post production

I hate the sound in Heat when Robert De Niro checks his chamber in the elevator. There is like a crappy video game sound to it.

Just to let you know all sounds are added in post production. The recording of the sounds a weapon makes is done after a show is filmed. Normally done on a private range for a couple of days firing the weapons used on the film live with about 15 mics on the range to record the sound from different angles. The sounds of bullet impacts and ricochets is done on the last day with a suppressed weapon shoot different type of targets from wood doors to side of beef to a car. Very cool deal if you can do it but is one of the most demanding days we work on. |

I wish that someone would make a movie in which the gun sounds aren't dubbed, but are actually part of that scene's recorded audio
