I'm assuming that this isn't common knowledge since people still spend 8 Keys+ on Strange AWPer Hands for the sound. Sorry if it is.

Recently, I've gotten a strange original. When I started using it, I noticed that my airshots were way worse than usual, and I was under-predicting the speed of my rockets. I later on noticed that my airshot consistency went in a chain (Black Box > Rocket Launcher > The Original. Observing it, I hypothesized that my airshot consistency was affected by the sounds of the rocket launcher, and if I use a higher-pitched and quicker sound (like that of the black box) my mind will be 'tricked' into thinking that the speed of the rockets are faster. I ended up googling up how to change the sound. My airshots did improve with the Original, and I think I might have been right.

You can also get some pretty humorous results if you use random junk like airhorns as the weapon sounds

Step 1: Use GCFScape to extract the file called "tf2_sound_misc_dir" found in the tf folder, to obtain the correct names to use for each individual weapon.
(GCFScape: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/?p=26) *NOTE: This download is not a virus.

Step 2: Create a folder in your custom folder named whatever you want. Then, make a folder called sound and inside that make a folder named weapons
(...../steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom/*your folder name here*/sound/weapons)

Step 3: Find a WAV Sound file you want to use as the weapon's new sound. (Yes, you can use sounds from tf2_sound_misc_dir)

Step 4: Search for the correct name of the weapon sound(s) in the tf2_sound_misc_dir folder you've extracted. Rename the WAV File to that.
(Note: In many cases, there are multiple sounds for one weapon. This may include critical sounds, explosion sounds, or even multiple sounds for different hits. If there are more sounds than what is given, then its okay to reuse your sounds, as it won't break anything. If there are multiple sounds for the same thing on one weapon but not another, just choose one firing sound to use.)

Step 5: Place the WAV File in the folder you've made in custom
(...../steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom/*your folder name here*/sound/weapons)

NOTE: IF THE SOUND BREAKS, THEN DELETE THE SOUND.CACHE FILE AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED NEXT TO THE SOUND FOLDER.[/color]

Sound Changes I absolutely love:
- Enforcer OR Diamondback Sounds to the Revolver
- Enforcer OR Diamondback Sounds to the Ambassador

As you can see, I really haven't done too much with it yet. Hell, I didn't even try to make the AWPer Hand sound the Sniper Rifle sound. If you've found a sound change that you enjoyed, feel free to post it down below.
