>Real gun sounds are terrible on their own, they need to be upgraded
That seriously depends.
The report of a gun can vary heavily depending on the acoustics of where you discharge it, as well as barrel-length, muzzle-device and cartridge, and not to mention where you stand in relation to the muzzle.

>Firing a gun in a field
>Firing a gun in an alley
>Firing a gun in a house
The same gun will sound radically different in these different environments.

In a field, the sound would be free to travel, and it'd echo across the plains.
In an alley, the sound would almost vibrate through the air, you'd feel it.
In a house, the sound would feel dense, soft yet heavy (the smaller the space, the more it'd damage your hearing, by the way).

Also, something that can be difficult to convey, is the feeling of the operating action, as if you could sense the bolt unlocking, slamming back into the rear of the receiver and then back home, locking again, all in the blink of an eye, but you'd feel it.
You could add the very subtle noise of the action to the gunshot to try and convey this.
