Historical Firearms Collection Guide

The Historical Firearms collection offers a range of firearm weapon sounds from history, spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. It includes a main REAPER project, Historical Firearms.rpp, and subprojects for each firearm operation, with associated handling for rifles, revolvers, and pistols. The complete list of all subprojects and their associated data and embedded metadata is available in the accompanying Historical Firearms SoundBook.

[Note]Note

This guide provides information specific to this collection. For general information that applies to all Strata collections, refer to the Strata User Guide.

The Main Project

The Historical Firearms main project provides a convenient way to visualize, locate, and audition the sounds in the Historical Firearms collection. Additionally, it is a central point from which you can open the individual subprojects of the collection. Each subproject contains sounds related to a unique firearm, organized by type and firearm name. For example, there are separate subprojects for Pistol Muzzleloader, Revolver Remington, and Rifle Kodiak. There is also a Handling subproject, which contains generic sounds for the physical manipulation of firearms such as loading and unloading.

The main project contains tracks for each subproject firearm, with media items that reference the various subprojects in nested tracks. You can audition any of the media items, which reference the rendered output from the corresponding subprojects.

In the main Historical Firearms project, you can double-click any subproject media item to open the corresponding subproject, in which all of the tracks and layers available for the specific firearm are arranged.

Use the Region/Marker Manager to find and jump to the different subproject tracks. For more information, refer to Regions and Markers in the Strata User Guide.
