DESCRIPTION
This set was somewhat tricky to do for somewhat unconventional reasons. The reasons are mainly this: there's another set floating around there made by EliTheJanitor, and it's really good. I'll have more to say on that in just a little bit. The second reason is that the vanilla animation--despite what some of you might think--is also really good.
Therefore, I was faced with the fairly difficult task of differentiating myself from two good sets of animations.
Ultimately, I ended up opting for the vanilla time-length. Hitman pointed out to me that, sadly, Eli's animations don't have the light blinking properly like in vanilla, as the only way that anyone knows how to do that is by copying vanilla values, and the only way that can work without breaking stuff is if the animations are the exact same length. So I decided on that one early on. I originally tried to create a more forceful animation with the unfolding and ejecting, but it looked pretty bad (not even going to show it to y'all), and Eli already did it more successfully to boot, especially since he gave himself more frames to work with (and especially because he's frankly a better animator than me, go figure).
I ended up on a pretty fluid reload that's somewhat reminiscent of vanilla's smooth motion, but that places more emphasis on the unfolding cylinder. It's the most interesting part of the gun, and given the limited amount of frames I had to work with, I emphasized that in the animation above all else.
If this ends up being not what you were expecting: I'm sorry. I wanted to keep the lights flashing like vanilla, so that meant a smaller timeframe. If it also doesn't look dramatically better than vanilla to you: th
