1998 weapons sounds to emulate more nostalgia...
Just not everything is possible to change how i intended (especially with upgraded guns).
This game have many sound variations, plus "I can't control what it does (RE engine)". Any shot sound is controlled by game (what sound effect/speed/pitch applied).

Eg. Matilda, you can change shot sfx's - but in-game that sound is controlled by engine/map points (changing that sound speed/pitch +which echo sounds to trigger).
If is not enough headache - some other weapons using same sounds (just drastically/slightly changing how is sounds)..
Modding result is same or similar to 1998 sounds. Check "1998 WEAPONS SOUNDS MOD [INFO]"

What more could i do - mess more with weapon shot/echo sounds,search more sounds (eg. many bullet cases sounds) and replace/change sounding. Messing with sounds could effect other weapons. With echos i'm not wanna mess, this kind of game should have how it made.

Beta release - any clicks missing, sound effect strange or anything (eg. you don't like specific sound, sound too loud/silent), post here. More ears is better.
I feel nostalgia while doing this, hope you feel it too..

so far no luck with JBM/M19 pistols shooting sounds

Working now:
On all pistols. Hunk's MP5 better version. Checking Shotgun.

[v1.10beta]
1998 WEAPONS SOUNDS MOD [INFO]:
CHANGED:

  Knife (swing, hit material, hit enemy).

 Pistols (Leon)

  Matilda (shot, shot upgraded, reload, clip drop).
 
   M19 pistol - (shot, uses Matilda's reload sfx's).
      (M19 pistol shot sfx's (many audio settings applied) also used by JBM pistol (drastically changed how it sounds by game engine),
 
 Pistols (Claire):

Colt Revolver (shot, reload).

  SLS pistol - (uses sfx's files from Revolver).
  JMB pistol - (uses M19 shot sfx, uses Matilda reload sfx's).
      (JBM uses M19 pistol shot sfx's, but changing how it sounds by engine, also additional changes by map echo points).
 
Other Pistols:
  Any unlocked/DLC Pistol (Samurai Edge's) uses same sfx's from Matilda (but changes sound pitch/speed by game engine).
  Hunk's pistol - uses all Matilda's sfx's, volumes controlled by game engine.
                
 Shotgun:

 (shot, reload). Sadly upgraded Shotgun uses same shot sfx sounds (just changing how it sounds by game engine).

 Magnum:

(shot, reload, clip drop). Upgraded Magnum uses same shot sfx sounds (just changing how it sounds by game engine).

 Mac10:

 (shot, shot silenced, reload, clip drop). 1998 shot sound for not silenced.
For silenced is nice combination (2019 silenced with 1998 shot) edited sound.

Other Submachine Gun:
  Hunk's MP5 - (shot, reload, clip drop) - custom re-worked sfx's for now.
  Unlocked infinite MP5 - uses sfx's combination from Claire's Mac10/Hunk's MP5.

 Grenade Launcher:

 (shot, hit acid, hit flame, reload).

 Sparkshot:

(shot, reload, clip drop).

 Flamethrower:

  Unlocked infinite Minigun uses same sfx's (but changes sound pitch/speed by game engine).

 Rocket Launcher:

 (shot, hit).

Other Rocket Launcher:
 Unlocked infinite Rocket Launcher uses same RPG sfx's (but changes sound pitch/speed by game engine).
