sdsd8452 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 There is no any proper machine gun mod, which is very sad. It might be due to the reason that belt-feeding animation while firing, and the belt being shortened as keep shooting is quite hard to create. Then, what about some old machine guns such as Lewis gun and DP-28 Degrachev? These use round-shaped magazine and won't have much problem creating animations, I think.

jkruse05 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Most older games got around the belt-feed animation issue by just saying it was a disintegrating belt and simply having the bullets visible outside of the the gun shake a lot, to give the illusion that they were feeding into the gun, and adding the disintegrating parts to the shell ejection. With all the talented animators out there I'm surprised that nobody has tried that method. In the meantime there are a lot of mods that convert the "Assault Rifle" to the machine gun that it's supposed to be, including my own AARP (see sig). The WH-77 LSW also adds a high quality gun that takes a lot of inspiration from the M249 and similar weapons. Wasteland Melody's Heavy Machingun adds an M2 inspired gun, but sadly eschews animations to just never reload. Over on beth.net there is a decent M60 as well, but again, no animations. I have considered the Degtyaryov as a potential project of my own, as I think I could get a pistol grip version to almost line up with the plasma rifle animations, but that is not something I am currently working on. Hell, the Lewis Gun may fit those animations even better, since the magazine is closer to the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
