From draw to impact
Melee Weapons Sound Effects
Blade whooshes, metal parries and sword handling for close combat.
Inside this collection
A close-combat action can begin with a draw, pass through a swing and finish at a block. These selections focus on swords and other hand weapons rather than gunfire. Metal, wood and shield parries sit in a separate group from the attack movements and equipment handling.
