This mod changes the weapon and explosion sounds to real recordings. They were taken in areas with lots of surroundings to fit the large city atmosphere of GTA IV.
All real sounds of .40 S&W, .357, 9mm, 7.62x39mm, 5.56x45mm, 12 Gauge, and 7.62x51mm calibers, taken from some of the exact weapons. Also featuring RPG and Real Explosion sounds.
