Where you hear it
gunfire01.ogg is the crack of a rifle or blunderbuss. Dwarf hunters, famous for their guns, made this a signature sound of Ironforge's rangers. Engineers craft many of the guns in the game. The sound is loud and very short. It works as a sharp attention-grabbing alert.
TriggerPlays when a character fires an equipped gun.
