 Hello

 I have a Revell 1/72 WWII Corvette model that I have made into remote control. I would like to add a sound effect for the main deck gun; 4" mark XI, I believe. I am looking for a free sound file that I can download into a audio circuit of the deck gun firing.

 Does anyone know of any source for this? Could you post a link for me?

 Thanks

 George

 Hello Again

 Since I am NOT sure of the correct sound of this type of deck gun. Does anyone have any idea of what the firing of this size of deck gun from a WWII Corvette should sound like?

 Any sound files you can find would help me alot.

 Thanks

There many free bits of software you could use to sample the sound from a DVD played on your computer.  So play The Cruel Sea ("I think I could reach him now, Sir!")  and grab the gun fire. Save the sound as a mp3 as any thing else uses up loads of space.

 Hello

 Thank You for the tip BUT to be honest my computer skills are such that I can email and surf the internet but I have No idea of what you suggested or even how to start to do that.

 Model Boat building used to be so much more fun before, now it`s gone high tech.

Try this file, I just made it quickly. Its a 2 second clip of an Iowa Class 16 inch gun (according to the video I took it from anyway!)

 Hi condeh

 Thank You for your reply to my post for help.I like the clear sound but it`s a 16 inch gun. Is it possible for you to see a video clip of a U.S Destroyer firing a MK45?

 That sound is perfect BUT is there any way you could capture the sound without the part with the empty brass ejecting and other external sounds. Could you make it a bit louder and a second longer, 2-3 seconds?

 Thanks Again for your post / help.

Guys.....a little confusion here ...........
The US Iowa class 16" ordinance used silk filled cordite bags for the explosive accelerant  & not pre rammed explosive filled brass shells
The British standard 4" MK X to MK X1V mounts used projectiles similar in concept to a .303 or .22 hand gun shell projectile, being pre filled & rammed & yes the brass shell casings were collectors items......
Whilst I have never experienced either of the above gun mounts firing......I have witnesses firing of 5"/54 calibre FMC mounts on our OZ DDG destroyers & I can assure you they are very LOUD
 
 
  It is all about the velocity of the projectile that determines the sound pressure level & the frequency...... Derek

 Hi Derek

 Any chance you can get a sound file of a single gun firing without the empty brass ejection sound or any other background sound?

George....

• Current Australian/British/American vessels with 75 mm to 5"guns all use pre rammed shell cases & with projectiles fitted
• I am unsure if a WWII destroyer with 4"guns & used non brass cased ordinance [projectiles]
• The current Australian ANZAC class vessels have a 5"/54 calibre gun mount .........that will make a sound similar to your older 4" MK X mounts

 Hello Again Derek

 First, Thanks again for your help. My model is a 1/72 Revell WWII Corvette. I don`t know much more details reg. it`s main gun except it was a 4". If you can get / find a clear loud sound bit of the one you mentioned without any shell casing being ejected or other external noise, I would be ok with that.

 George

The 4" on a corvette would be a brass shell case.  I think I've got the right software on my laptop at home.  I'll see if if I can lift the 4" sound from "The Cruel Sea" or the older "Corvette K225"   Any other sounds you need?  DC thrower or racks? Ships bell?

George.
           I can't attach sound files to these messages, can I pm you with a sound file?

[george]

 Hi TailUK

 Sure you can email the sound file. I will sen my info. to you through a PM.

 George

 Hi TailUK

 Thanks again for your offer of sound help. I don`t want to sound greedy But could you send me the other sound files as well that you mentioned you had for the corvette?

 Thanks Again for your time and help.
