Hey wouldnt it be cool to have a Garand Reload Animation where the player hold the rifle diagnaly up to the left and smacks in the new stripper? Like at pic below to see what I mean..

to check if any bugs got caught inside?

for style, I think. :)

Sounds good, I tried getting my animation request for the garand done.. but no luck :(

BTW: Don't wanna sound like an arse, but garand doesnt have a stripper clip.:sheep:

umm...last i checked they did...i dont recall americans feeding their bullets in one at a time:rolleyes:

its called an en block isnt it? or something to that effect i believe

yeah its an enblock

[paranoid rant]
Stripper clips allow the bullets to "slide" into the houseing of the gun, and then falls off when the bolt is closed. While as an En Block is basically a steel spring that holds the rounds in a manner to keep them in correct possision while the bolt is working. In a stripper clip loaded rifle, you can manualy load the gun's full capacity, while as in a garand, you can only manually load one round at a time. It needs the enblock to work.

Cool concept on the animation, however I'd find it annoying due to the model will be covering most of the screen during reload. I like to see whats comeing while I'm defensless.

enblock? never heard of that word before. I always considered it to be called a clip, plain and simple. :)

They use en bloc clips.
