Hey Birchy!! the proportions seem to be off on the grenade launcher. Everything is reliable except the ejector. It doesn't seem to eject properly. Great potential for this.
The second half of the magazine seems to eject well. . . That's strange.
Anyways, try making an interrupter to keep the hammer from falling until the bolt closes completely. also, try making a semi-auto firing mode as well (whenever I make my weapons, I start with semi-auto, the automatic, and then, if I can, Burst)
The mechanisms are not too hard for these (except for burst, as that requires a bit more mechanical perfection and balance).
may I post a scene response showing how auto and semi work for the AK rifles and m16?
I just noticed the bullpup won't work. There isn't sufficient room in the stock to allow a bolt and bolt carrier to be able to feed ammunition. maybe make it into a standard-style rifle?
yeah, I am trying to come up with a mechanism that allows the bolt carrier to only move when the operating handle is locked. Otherwise, malfunctions happen. Expect future updates XD
I could post a forum topic explaining everything as much as possible. I can also make example scenes to show how these things function. The mechanisms can be a bit finicky for some things, and a little TLC and tiny adjustments make a huge difference in performance. There are times where I completed a complex firearm in under two hours and uploaded a little later after making sure everything works well. Then there have been times I was pulling my hair out over something as simple as the magazine follower being fussy. Or a fail to feed (Xray, your PM40 was a pain to get feeding properly XD.) I will post a tutorials post in the tutorials forum with links to DIY scenes (interactive tutorials) as well as explanation scenes.
Great! now just work on adding some power to the shots and making the gun work manually. Also, add more ammo to the magazine. Five round full auto is hardly a burst of fire XD
Elaborate a little on what it means for a gun to "load itself." If you mean it grabs the magazine and inserts it automatically, then I don't even know where to start. Explosive bullets in full auto? I technically have a fully automatic grenade launcher with explosive ammo
