Gun reload sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Magazine inserted
A magazine slid into a pistol grip and seated with a firm slap and click, the fastest way to say a fight is not over.
Magazine ejected
A sharp release click and an empty magazine clattering onto concrete, for the moment a shooter runs dry mid-fight.
Slide released
A locked-open slide slammed forward with one bright snap, the sound that closes out a pistol reload on screen.
Shells loaded
Shotgun shells pushed one by one into the tube with firm clicks, for a slow tense reload before the door gives way.
Revolver reload
Rounds clinking into an open cylinder and the cylinder snapping shut, a deliberate reload for a western or a noir.
Loading a magazine
Cartridges pressed into a magazine one at a time with tight springy clicks, a quiet prep sound before the action.

Fill the calm before a raid
Rounds pressed into a magazine at a table carry a wordless prep scene, giving a thriller, a game intro or a podcast its slow build.
Edit prompt
Set a lone outpost under siege
Shells pushed into a shotgun one at a time while something waits outside sets a horror cabin or a survival level before anyone speaks.

Let the audience hear a reload in the dark

FAQs
What is a gun reload sound effect?
It is the sound of ammunition going into or out of a gun: a magazine inserted or ejected, a slide released, shotgun shells pushed into a tube, revolver rounds dropped into a cylinder or cartridges pressed into a magazine. No shot is fired.
Where can I get gun reload sounds for a video?
Type out the reload and Morphic generates it for your shot. You get the exact sequence your hands on screen perform, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so it doubles as an example to adapt.
How do I make a custom gun reload sound effect?
List the steps of the reload in order and the material of each part, then generate it. A prompt like "a magazine released from a rifle, a loud sharp click and an empty magazine clattering onto concrete" works, and you can change the floor surface.
What is the difference between a magazine reload, a shell reload and a revolver reload?
A magazine reload is a fast swap, one release click and one slap home. A shell reload is a slower run of single clicks as shells go into a tube. A revolver reload is small brass clinks into a cylinder, then a snap as it closes.
Can I use these gun reload sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each sound is generated for you, you also avoid the clip turning up in someone else's video.
Why does my gun reload not sit right in the edit?
A reload is several small sounds, and they drift off the hand moves when used as one block. Cut the clip at each click and nudge each one to its frame, or generate the steps separately and lay them in by hand.
