How To Extract Pak Files?

Specifically, I'm trying to extract .PAK files from Cod4 remastered. I'm working on some mods (unpaid) and trying to find a good source of weapon sounds. I didn't have any luck with stock, so I was going to grab some from Cod4.

Here's a thread about PAK Files: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/c4aj6a/how_to_extract_pak_files/

Looks like Game Extractor would help

Hm! I tested out game extractor and it worked for another game but not COD4.

Pak is just the extension. It doesn't tell you anything about the fileformat. Thats proprietory. Its like no .wad files are all the same. I've implemented .wad files on a game before but you wouldn't be able to unpack it the same way as Doom or who ever made the file extension.
