Shotgun sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Heavy blast

One deep, wide boom with a hard crack on top and a long rolling echo, the signature of a heavy shot.

Pump rack

The hard double clack of a pump-action slide drawn back and pushed forward, loading the next shell.

Shell drop

A plastic and brass shell casing hitting a hard floor, bouncing twice and rolling to a stop.

Shell loading

Three shells pushed one after another into the tube, each with a small metal click.

Double blast

Two heavy booms in quick succession, the second overlapping the echo of the first.

Distant boom

A single muffled boom heard from far away, with a long soft rolling tail.

Ways to use a shotgun sound effect

Punctuate the blast with real weight

A heavy boom cut to the muzzle flash makes the shot feel dangerous, in a shooter game, an action short or a western reconstruction.

Edit prompt

Build tension with a pump rack before a showdown

A slow rack in a silent shot tells the viewer a fight is coming, in a horror film, a western or a survival game.

Show a rural hunt from far away

A distant boom rolling over the shot establishes a hunt or a farm in the distance, in a documentary, a game level or an audio play.

Imply a shot the camera cuts away from

A boom followed by a falling shell off screen suggests what happened without showing it, in a thriller, a crime series or a podcast.

FAQs

What is a shotgun sound effect?
It is the sound of a pump-action shotgun: the heavy blast, the rack of the slide, a shell falling to the floor. It is deeper and wider than a pistol shot.
Where can I get shotgun sounds for a video?
Describe the blast or the rack you need and generate it, which is faster than comparing dozens of weapon clips. Each sound here came from the prompt beside it.
How do I make a custom shotgun sound?
Name the part, the blast, the rack or the shell, then add deep, dry or distant. A prompt like "a pump-action slide racked, a hard double clack" tells Morphic exactly what to build.
What is the difference between a blast and a pump rack?
A blast is the loud explosive shot. A pump rack is the mechanical double clack of loading the next shell, quiet enough that it builds tension rather than action.
Can I use these shotgun sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. The sounds are generic and carry no weapon brand.
Why does my shotgun blast sound thin?
Close, dry recordings can lack low-end. Ask for a deep, wide boom with a rolling echo, and add a low boost in your edit if you need more weight.
