Loudness Of Guns Experiment.

So I got a counter strike gun pack, about the same we use for perp with animations and all that fancy codings. As I was running through city 17 shooting combine up with a glock, I decided to do a test. On the Evocity test, I spawned a camera at where someone spawns, and had the camera face the SkyScaper, I then went on each "level" firing the gun into the air (so I wouldn't get confused when I heard a bullet hitting something then a gunshot) a level would be like, Sidewalk by Nexus, right lane, left lane, sidewalk by bank, etc.

Evocity gun test (these will be scored on the farthest you can hear it) Glock: The patch of grass at bank. Five-Seven: The closest parking spot at bank's parking spot to the Nexus. Mac 10, Deagle, MP5: Center of Bank of America. Shotgun, M4A1, AK-47: Between Bank and AMPM.

I found this test interesting, funny because if there is a robbery at the bank and the robbery is using a glock, the only gun you can really hear would be the MP5, but the loudest of them all is the bullet impact. Which should be the opposite. It's kinda funny how in gunfights you hear the bullet impact and the people going "ugh, hit in the gut." instead of the suppose to be loud "BANG" of the gun. What I wish VALVe would've done when they released source was to kinda blend in the half life 2 distant gunshots, because in half life 2 guns are LOUD. Spawn some NPC's fighting each other with pistols at Nexus, and you can hear the gunshots from the Car Dealer. I asked Conkers about this when we were dilly dally'ing on his Beta server if he could do it, I would recommend

Glocks,Five-Sevens- Combine USP distant gunshots.

SWAT USP, Desert Eagle- Magnum distant gunshots.

MP5, Mac 10- SMG1 distant gunshots.

AK-47, M4A1- Pulse Rifle distant gunshots.

Shotgun- Shotgun distant gunshots.

This way, gunfights would be LOUD. But then again, it would be annoying if you're growing in Subs and you are hearing a bank robbery go on all the way across the map.

City 17 straight line gun test: 1 1. Glock,2. Five-Seven 3. Desert Eagle, Mac 10, MP5. 4. (TIED) M4A1, AK-47.5. Shotgun.

I found this interesting because City 17 had a background ambiance, while Evocity was quiet. The straight line must of also helped, and this proves that VALVe made it where corners can cut down a gun's volume. Plus the area I tested in was more tighter packed then Evocity.

Hope you enjoyed this little experiment!
