Punch a burst of fire onto the cut
A short burst timed to the muzzle flash gives an action cut its impact, in a film clip, a game trailer or an animated sequence.

Machine gun sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Short burst
About a dozen rapid hard cracks in a row, then silence, for a quick burst fired at a doorway or a target.
Sustained fire
Even hard cracks with no gaps for several seconds, for a firefight, a defended position or a suppressing volley.
Shell casings
Spent brass bouncing and rattling across a hard floor, many small metallic tinks that scatter and settle.
Heavy mounted fire
Slower thudding reports from a large caliber weapon, each a heavy boom, for a vehicle or fixed gun position.
Magazine and bolt
A magazine clicked in and the bolt racked, two hard metallic clacks, for reloading before the burst begins.
Empty click
Fire that stops and the empty weapon clicks twice, for running out of ammunition at the worst moment.

Ways to use a machine gun sound effect
Keep a firefight loud without any music
Sustained fire running under a wide shot carries the tension on its own, in a war film, a shooter level or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Show the aftermath of a gunfight on the ground
Brass casings rattling to a stop tell the viewer shots were fired here, in a crime drama, a game scene or a short film.
Edit prompt
Imply a gun running dry off screen
An empty click heard from beyond the frame tells the audience the shooter has no more ammunition, in a thriller, an audio drama or a game.

FAQs
What is a machine gun sound effect?
It is the sound of an automatic weapon firing a rapid run of hard reports, plus the sounds around it such as casings and bolt clicks. In video and games it carries action, danger and urgency.
Where can I get machine gun sounds for a video?
Describe the sound you want and generate it. That is quicker than searching a library, and the result is made for your scene. Every sound on this page came from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one and adjust.
How do I make a custom machine gun sound?
Name the source, say what it does and add one or two quality words, then generate it. A prompt like "Sustained automatic gunfire, rapid even hard cracks one after another without gaps, sharp and dry." gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can change the wording until it fits.
What is the difference between a burst, sustained fire and heavy fire?
A burst is a short run of reports that stops, and sustained fire runs without a gap for several seconds. Heavy fire uses a larger caliber, so each report is slower and heavier, which suits mounted guns and vehicles.
Can I use these machine gun sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Each burst is generated for you from a generic description, with no real weapon model named, so you can build a scene around it.
Why does my gunfire sound like fireworks or popcorn?
Reports that are too light or too far apart read as pops. Ask for hard cracks with a short tail, name the rate as rapid and even, and say the recording is dry and close.
