[SUGGESTION] animations on weapons

I suppose that many had seen the vitamins nexuiz illfonic the kids are creating:

I believe that quality is the goal to achieve. one of the points that surprised me most is:

-We can introduce animations for the weapons?

"We can make maps with tools like Blender?

Bastards using our map too <_<

Weapon animations are possible, to an extent - the mortar could have a rotating cylinder, etc. Of course, what would be awesomer is things like the shotgun shooting then ejecting the shells in a manner shown in the video (you can see part of the gun slide back and throw the shells out and load new ones), however, I don't know how possible this is (you would need to disengage the shells from the gun model once they leave the chamber, I think).

Yeeeeeah that map looks familiar.
1. Blender2map thread
2. See the small discussion about animating weapons on the *insert nex replacement name here* model thread.

weapon animations would be great!!!
Shotgun: rotating firing cylinders
Rifle: Reloading animation
and so on...
