Original RE3 mod by Maxwellian01
Metro 2033 Revolver firing sound for Magnum
I'm surprised there's only one existing gun sound mod for RE2, I'd mod most of RE2's gun sounds if it wasn't so needlessly complicated.
Granted they're not as abysmally quiet as RE3's, but it does have some room for improvement.
I've tested this for all configurations of the Lightning Hawk, and as a bonus I've also replaced Claire's Upgraded SLS 60 (Mag rounds) with the same sound.
Now both guns use identical sounds, but in-game the engine warps the sounds in all sort of ways which I can't do anything about, so expect SLS 60's sound to be a bit quieter.
This is my first attempt at modding so it may not be 100% polished, but its functional.
Also note that this sound mod will make the Lightning Hawk noticeably louder than the other guns.
Install with FluffyQuack's Fluffy Manager 5000.
Credits and big thanks to Maxwellian01 for creating some awesome and highly needed gun sound mods for RE3.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 344 endorsements and over 7k downloads.
- Simple audio swap that gives the Lightning Hawk a beefier, more satisfying report.
- Last updated January 2022, so it's stable and unlikely to break your game.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Lightning Hawk—if you want other guns changed, this isn't for you.
- Sound preference is subjective; the 'better' sound might not match your taste.
- Potential compatibility risk with other audio mods that alter the same weapon sound.
For Resident Evil fans who want the Lightning Hawk to sound like the iconic Metro 2033 revolver. Also for players who find the default sound weak and want a punchier alternative. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla sound or want a full audio overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the sound file in the correct game directory (e.g., Data folder) to avoid issues.
- If you use other audio mods, load this one last to ensure it takes priority.
- Test the sound in-game after installation to confirm it's working as expected.
