Algodoo

nice! it truly is FAST, but is it the FASTEST? I don't know. I guess people may have to do some searching to determine that. (I'm too lazy to )

well made!

thank you!

changing sim frequencies always helps. go to settings (little gear icon next to FILE), go to sim, and increase it. BEWARE: the higher it is, the laggier poor computers are. all this does is make simulations more accurately calculated

I upload guns and things for people to use. I ENCOURAGE it. use as you wish, but a little credit is desirable. after all, I do often spend days or even weeks designing things

you could always ask me via skype. my contact there is ngphil22

this is my response to all those damn marble races cluttering up the algobox. thought it'd be funny to some people

thanks, Xray!

settle down there, captain happy.

not bad. Keep working, and take apart the scenes of others. I encourage you to look at some of my scenes, as all my stuff is (relatively) realistic, and somewhat easy to use. raising sim frequency a bit helps too

meh. it's not all that good, but it's a start. I'll give it a good rating to ring it back to 5

Sweet mod, man!

which gun are you referring to?

basically, what i do with all my guns, is I import the picture of a real gun. then, I carefully trace every detail, and carefully color those pieces. after I have the textures made, I build in the mechanisms. If i can get pictures of the components, typically off of popular firearms (M4/m16/AR-15 mechanisms, 1911 mechanisms, anything else with a lot of detailed pictures), I make the mechanisms as accurate as I can for the best reliability. if you want to see a video series of how I build guns, I have one on youtube. here's the link to video 1: How I Build my Guns

yeah, they're really not that bad

indeed, they are costly to feed. 20 rounds of .45 is not cheap, and you can chew through a mag rather quickly.

Thanks guys! I'll see what I can do to improve its reliability.

Can't wait for this to be functional! Keep going

EDIT:

I would downvote this if I could. I took a look, and The Linkage Originally created that EXACT MECHANISM. All you did was put a lousy skin on in and call it your own.

TO The Linkage: I am terribly sorry about that

^^^^When are people ACTUALLY going to rate scenes? It's annoying how many people put "10/10" but never bother with the damn rating function.

I give you 10/10. Really.

Brilliant design, sorry that other guy ripped it off.

Thanks, and sorry that guy took your stuff without credit. I gave him an earfull for it

The point of a gas mechanism is to prevent blow-back altogether. Blow-back mechanisms are only used in miniature pistol-caliber pistols and carbines (.22s, .22lr, all the way to .25 acp). The reason for this is that the powder charges in these are insufficient to operate most recoil mechanisms and gas mechanisms, as the weapon will most likely short stroke, resulting in stovepipes or similar malfunctions. Assault rifles, Semi-automatic Precision/Sporting Rifles, auto-loading Battle-rifles, and anything else that uses a gas mechanism uses it because until the round leaves the barrel, the chamber pressures are unsafe for extraction and ejection, and will most likely result in some kind of dangerous issue, such as a ballooned or shredded receiver and destroyed bolt and bolt carrier. Usually, the bolt locks into the barrel until the gas pressures from the gas port push the bolt carrier back, unlocking the bolt from the barrel or barrel extension. By this time, the chamber pressures are safe enough that extraction and ejection will be safe as well.

overall, nice job! The only con I have is a lack of a locking feature of the bolt. 9/10

Merry Christmas, everybody! (and happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends )

it keeps generating nonsense, except for the occasional "crap", "mop", and "ape". I DID come across a few incredible words, for example, "atmospheric", and there were a few four letter words which I should not mention XD

This is pretty cool, xray! I'll be really impressed if you can create something that always generates nothing but legible English words. Consider it a challenge

^^indeed.

Thank you!

I saw you inquired on burst on open bolt. If I give it a shot, may I provide an official modification to this?

This is excellent! No jams throughout the entire mag, and awesome rate of fire!

you bet! Uploading it now

and what does this garbage accomplish?

I'd like to point out a few things here:

1: The unwritten rule of Algodoo is DO NOT USE THE CONTENT OF OTHERS WITHOUT GIVING CREDIT! It is not only a d!ck move, but it also result in a lot of unwanted complication and aggression.

2: Using the content of others to create a lousy excuse for an uploaded scene is just stupid. If you want attention, you must earn it. I'm pretty sure the allotted space on a server to store the scenes people upload is not cheap. Junk scenes such as this one are an abuse to the money/space/work of the people keeping the database and server up and running

3: The only way to make a scene others will appreciate is to put time and effort into it. Be creative!! There are many ideas and concepts that are yet to be discussed or demonstrated, and Algodoo is a perfect vessel for the expression of some of these. The possibilities are endless! Instead of using already created work, why not materialize your own? The only way to make a good scene is to put good effort into it!
