The Liberty One Pop Gun creates a pop sound effect used in many popular pieces of music and theater performances throughout the years. The Pop Gun is durable and reliable featuring a metal and true cork construction. The cork is easy reloaded with the pull rod.
I ordered this pop gun for some concerts I will be performing in this summer. At first I couldn't get it to work but I reached out to say I was having trouble. Emily responded quickly and sent me a video that she had made for another lady drummer which helped out greatly. I have been using it successfully at rehearsal for a couple of weeks now, though I do have to play it by jamming it just above my hip bone and just below my waist in front, guess I'm too old to have the arm strength to play it the other way (be pushing it strongly). It sounds great. I'm sure glad because it wasn't cheap. I'm glad that I have it.

You won't find one anywhere else

This pop gun sound effect is much longer than the ones from decades past. It has a good, loud sound and frankly, I couldn't find one of these anywhere except for Steve Weiss. Worth the purchase.

Great Instrument; Needs Directions!
Comments:
The Weiss Pop Gun makes a great sound! It just took me took me a week and several emails to figure out how to make it work! Even the video from Weiss was not clear because the mechanism is, to me, so counter-intuitive. Occasionally a very strong push misfires so the player must become very familiar with the instrument to insure consistency. But it DOES make a great POP!

Good sounding gun
Comments:
I've used this model on a Broadway show tour where a misfire is big no-no. This gun is reliable if cork is loaded securely and you fire it in one motion. To fire it one-handed put the ball into your gut or on your leg if seated at drum kit. I put Velcro on the ball to prevent it slipping off body and causing a misfire. The little double-threaded metal piece that connects both rods can work loose during breakdown/storage/transit. If you lose it, the gun is worthless. It's happened to me.
Would love Weiss to offer REPLACEMENT CORKS.
Thank you, Lee

Pop Gun
Comments:
This is the IDEAL sound for a percussion ensemble or concert band.
I am not giving it a 5 due to my concern that the cork will not last much more than 3 months, with daily use in rehearsals/performances.
Love The Sound!
