I wonder if the gun shot recordings weren't successful because the sound most folks think of as gunshots are from movie soundtracks? Those would have all sorts of ambience (real and fake) that simply letting loose with a .357 outside the studio wouldn't necessarily have.

Some of the shooting we hear out here (neighbors - either hunting or target shoooting) have a nice ambiance from the hills at the back of the property, and some have absolutely no ambience - they sound kind of like small firecrackers.
