An amplified AK-47 gunshot sound effect from CS:GO, with a loud, sharp crack. Gamers use it for FPS edits, kill montages, and jump-scare moments in videos.
This is a single amplified shot from an AK-47 rifle in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, lasting just under two seconds. The recording opens with a hard, metallic crack, followed by a deep, echoing boom that feels much louder and heavier than the in-game version. Its boosted volume makes the blast hit instantly, with no wind-up or warning, so it cuts straight through music, dialogue, or quiet gameplay. Listeners feel a sudden jolt, like a weapon firing close by, which makes it useful for shock, emphasis, or a dramatic pause in a video.
The AK-47 is one of the most recognisable weapons in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve's team-based shooter first released in 2012, where its loud, powerful shot became part of the game's identity. Short amplified versions of the sound began circulating on soundboards and in video edits, where creators wanted a heavier impact than the standard in-game audio. It spread through gaming montages, memes, and reaction clips, often paired with the bomb has been planted callout for tense round-ending moments. Its familiarity keeps it useful today, because players instantly recognise the weapon from a single crack.
