Blakes Sounds Overhall

Built from real field recordings and designed to sound like you're actually there: punchy, full-bodied gunshots up close, natural echoes at distance, and believable suppressed fire.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Weapons (vanilla + M110)
- New unsuppressed and suppressed sounds for the M16A2 / carbine, AK-74, AKS-74U, VZ-58, M249, PKM, M60, SVD, M21, M9, PM, RPG-7 and the M110 DMR
- Real-recording based suppressed shots with calibre-matched tone (5.45 / 5.56 / 7.62 / .308)
- Natural outdoor echo tails

Explosions
- Grenades, RPG, TNT, demo charges and AT mines rebuilt from real mortar, tank-mine and distant blast recordings
- Proper distance falloff: close, far and very far blasts
- Dirt, stones and grit falling after blasts in open ground; brick/glass debris near buildings

Bullets
- Louder, sharper supersonic cracks (5.56 and 7.62) – you'll know when you're being shot at
- Real bullet impacts for dirt, soil, concrete, brick, stone, metal, glass and bodies

Destruction & fire
- Trees: real trunk snaps, creaking falls and heavy ground thumps
- Buildings: brick, wood and metal collapse debris
- Burning vehicles: real fire loops
- Smoke grenades: real hiss

Hearing
- Close-explosion tinnitus lasts longer and hits harder
- NEW: ear fatigue – sustained unsuppressed fire builds up ringing (light / medium / heavy) that fades as your ears recover. Suppressed fire doesn't count. Uses the game's own Tinnitus setting, so it can be switched off.
