The Modèle d'Ordonnance Mle 1873 was France's first modern centre-fire service revolver, adopted in 1873 and carried through the First World War. Its distinctive profile keeps it popular in period films, which is why this clip is tagged to the 1999 adventure film The Mummy, set in 1920s Egypt with similar revolvers on screen. Online, editors favour the sample over cartoon pew pew effects because the mechanical click and flat report sell a real antique weapon in trailers, reenactments and game mods.
About this sound
A sharp single revolver gunshot sound effect based on the French Modèle 1873 revolver, linked to The Mummy (1999) and used in period action edits.
This is a clean two-second recording of a single revolver shot, with a hard metallic hammer click, a bright crack and a short echoing tail that fades quickly. The tone is dry and vintage rather than modern and booming, matching a 19th century French service revolver like the Modèle d'Ordonnance Mle 1873. Because the shot is isolated with no background noise, it lands as a clear punctuation mark in a scene, instantly signalling a duel, a sudden threat or an old-fashioned shootout without overwhelming dialogue or music underneath.
