Although the M1 Garand was adopted in 1936, there were still thousands of Springfield M1903's in front line service for standard riflemen. Basically all that would be needed for this pack would be an unscoped 1903 to replace the Enfield, as well as a 1928 Tommy (which has already been released) for the Sten, BAR Bren and of course a Springfield for the scoped Enfield. This wouldn't be too much work, and I would just do it myself if I knew how. Recompiling these weapons with US sleeves in place of the British sleeves, and then recompiling (if it's even necessary) US models for the Brit weapons code (although still using the US weapon animations obviously) would be it, plus taking that scope off the Springfield and putting iron sights in its place. I don't care if it's a 1903a3 or the original WW1 version with the Mauser-style rear sight. I have a feeling there are a few others who have thought of this and would like to see it, and if in fact nobody has ever thought of this, the idea is now out there, so I leave it to the MSA community to do what you think is proper.

for that matter, you could use Pacific Theatre Marines. they didn't get the Garand until much later in the war.

Id do it but i dont have the proper materials :(

its easy to do the spring but the 2nd animations will need a animator...ie butting actions

I've got a 1903a1 Springfield rifle that I made but never textured or released, I could give that to somebody interested. It wouldn't need reanimating if you attached it to a k98 skeleton and used the custom smack animations released some time ago for the k98, so all you would need is a texutre. The player models could also be hacked together using existing stuff, but would require at least a little texture work.

brillant!!!i will use my kar98 bayoless as skull an use spring body ill release it 2nite

im gonna use defualt spring and again brillant idea trigger!!!! i would not of think of using kar bones

damn it would work but one problem the animations of the kar dont work well with the spring when it shoots it shows the animation where when he pulls the bolt up but its too high like in this pic...

Its cos the rifle isn't alligned right with the skeleton.

Same thing happened to me when i put kar animations on those jap rifles. Jus keep messing about with it, rescaling might also help.

Its jus a case of tril and error really, looks good so far though. keep it up.

Ska

wow thanks it looks pertty normal right now

another pic

btw ska what jap rifle are u talking about i really want one of em arisaka rifle type x

looks pertty good prob will put a link up in this post so others can help test it

Sorry to be anal... but, where are the sights? The gun doesn't have any on it. It really detracts from it. Besides that, good animation job.

get me a pic of whats its suppose to look like then
