Hi Damekn -- I see that you put a lot of work into this rifle as I'm sure that you have on your previous scenes. When playing this scene, I had a few problems with it, and so I wanted to download and play your previous rifle scenes to determine if the problems I had are only on this scene, or were they consistent with your other scenes. What I found were a few problems that seem to be consistent with most or all of your rifle scenes. They are:

1. The rifles are attached to the scene background with springs. Those springs make the rifle somewhat difficult to control, especially when pulling back the bolt or charging handle. The gun sort of floats around in the direction that I am pulling or pushing on the active components.
2. There seems to be a long delay when activating the trigger. In a real firearm, that delay would not be acceptable.
3. At times when I pull back on the bolt in order to chamber a round, the magazine falls out of the rifle.
4. When I pick up a magazine in order to load the rifle, some of the cartridges come flying out of the magazine. Apparently, they are not held in securely.
5. I seem to need to be very careful how I handle and operate your rifles because there were times when parts would fly out of them. And yes, I was trying to be careful without jerking things around, but that didn't matter.

I feel bad about telling you about these issues because I know how hard it is to build a complex mechanical device like a select-fire rifle, but I would not be doing you any favors by not saying anything. Maybe other people can chime in here and comment about their experiences with your rifles to see if they have similar issues that I have had. I own a few guns in real life (including an AR15), and so I understand how they are supposed to operate.

Keep posting your awesome scenes!

Hey Xray: Thank you so much for reporting these issues to me! I will work to resolve some of these issues, but some of these like the background springs are there to add a sense of "feedback" to the firearm. But I can totally see how it can be an issue. Either way, I am grateful that you reported these issues and they can now start getting resolved. Thank you!

You are very welcome!
