Bolt Shotgun Firer

Old bolt shotgun fire. Used curve editor to make it better custom movement curves. Do not have original for comparison. Result needs tweaking. Tell me what you think. I still have more work to do on the return to idle.

Watch in 480p to avoid cutoff. Sound is a WIP and is merely a placeholder for now.

    Sometimes animating with the gun then the hand can be good, but I also like to take a step-by-step animation (first make the first part (boltpull up), then edit in the details and so continue with it down etc.)

    I remember the Name...

    @Zomb3h Thanks, glad you like them so far. I made it move slightly before only to simulate the cock on open action (needs more force to operate the cocking piece on open) of a Mauser-type bolt. I could change it if it's really irritating. Will experiment.

    @Zeej Yeah, I haven't messed with the position curves much yet. I will put more work into these after I smoke a bowl. ;)

    EDIT: Oh, and just in case anyone was wondering, I'm planning on hand animating the shell as well. No ejector entities here sir.

    We can clearly see where the pivot of the gun is, Move it not just rotate it pleas.

    Great animations so far, but one comment I'd like to make.

    I like the bolt pull motion, but make sure the gun does not tilt until you move the bolt.
