Firefly Online Revolver Test Animation

Recently I took it upon myself to begin working on a revolver. I'm going to be doing some work on a side project designing some weapons so decided to basically make a study of a gun ahead of time. I found an image of a revolver from Firefly Online which was a cancelled mobile game based on the TV series Firefly.

While the original image was one sided and had no information on how it functioned I did what I could to add functional mechanics to the weapon and took a few creative liberties. For one I made the ammo have emissive lights until they are fired. This gives the user feedback and gives an interesting/unique look when the revolver is loaded. I also added an auto-eject system that will eject only fired rounds from the cylinder. This makes it so the user can reach for ammo and simply load it into the chamber by the time they have it pulled out since the chamber will already be empty. The other is that I added an automatic mode. Simply partially pull the trigger and hold it there for a couple of seconds and the cylinder will start to spin. Then simply pull the trigger all the way and the revolver will fire as an automatic weapon.

I created this test animation for fun after creating a rig for it.
