Real Minigun Sound

Description
This is the sound of a minigun as recorded from the real thing to replace the cinematographic version in the game.

A major problem with gun replacement sounds is that the volume level is always too low when one replaces any sound. I researched all I can to change the volume, besides maxing out the WAV files content, which I did.
So if you find it not loud enough, like I do too, I apologize but this is how far I can get it without distorting the sound completely. I compressed and normalized as high as possible and then a bit more (so it really clips already).

If any other fellow modder knows where to set game volume parameters then please share it with me and I will make this one as real as it gets.

I only changed the firing noise, not the barrel rotation start and finish which were left unchanged from the original.

[EDIT] 24 May 2020: A demo video has been added.
The video also illustrates that (like all weapons in L4D2) the recochet's noise is still audible through the firing, I know it is unrealistic, but the original sound also is like that and there is no way to make this addon's volume higher accordingly. That is a limitation of the game platform.

@ Tonton Flingueur's this Sound is so Thunderous for the Minigun and it's bad@ss very well done sir indeed and i think you can almost compare the Minigun sound Mod of your creation to this other Modder sound of her Minigun sound created by the modder itself ( https://www.gamemaps.com/details/7157 ) but it has been broken so there's a updated 2020 version of the original ( https://www.gamemaps.com/details/24257 ).

Thx Dune Jumper. I would not judge the original "bad", it is a mater of preference. The native one is the kind of sound we get from Holiwood movies. Look for example at the minigun in Predator (first movie), in the movie it sounds a bit like the original game sound, but when you look at the Predator's "making of" you can get a glimpse of the real sound, which is more like mine (pitch may vary with ammo caliber and fire rate).
This mod is just for people who are familiar with the real sound and want this in the game.

name.exe: This mod does only the sound. Modding damage is something totally different. I think some cvar can do that, but then you can only do that in local server with cheats on.
