Best Gunshots

redkiwi:not too subtle by half; kitsch:noun, something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality; see, kitschy and thats not why no "s", speaking of which, have you visited one of these high-end tv showroom shrines, yet? with the $30,000 projector, all-krell all the time and the corinthian leather? What's up with that? "Daddy, did you really have to watch tv in black and white?" "Good afternoon, Dr. Smythe-Hastings, be good enough to let Samantha here take you to see the telle-tubbies on our $100,000 display whilst I show this musician ruffian with only $1500 to spend the door." And youse guys want to be treated well by dealers?

if you don't mind moving off the ersatz-yiddish spelling discussion and getting back to the subject of this post: i recommend the 1985 telarc cd, "ein straussfest." it has some great gun shots, in addition to other amusing sound effects. BTW, kitch, i visited a highend audio/video dealer while traveling to boston last week, where i saw/heard a $200,000 ht system playing a broadcast hdtv signal. 'ya gotta see it to believe it; i think it's truly equal to the jazz singer's introduction of sound to film. no cheap, mid-fi krell there, BTW.

Fer me it's the Flintlocks in Last of the Mohicians; nothing like period instraments.

How about the shoot-out in "HEAT" where Al Pacino and the cops shoot it out with Robert de Niro and his cohorts?

I agree with the "Heat" gun battle. I heard it on mid-fi equipment with super bright Klipsch speakers. It was great!
