If she hit 'em at all it would count as a head shot. That kind of weapon is normally attached to a vehicle.

nah, only light armor, not tanks.

Although I'm pretty sure this would leave a decent sized hole in most armor.

Unfortunately the BRG 15, a successor project for the M2, was cancelled. It fired 14.5 mm shells from a doubled-beltfeed and could penetrate 10mm of steel at 30°

It is too bad the BRG15 was canceled, as well I have heard rumors Barrett's XM-109 project was canceled (above link to most awesome real life mega rifle). But I wouldn't Mind getting my paws on either, or just get an AA-12 from Blackwater and call it good. lol

Wikipedia hasn't caught wind of cancellation of the XM-109, but it wouldn't shock me. Still....slick.

True, Which leaves me with hope it will still make it through to at least the private LE and Merc market.

The Big (B)rother is a 40mm cannon. Not a .50 cal.

Big B(r )other. My bad. Anyways, .50 cal is 12.7mm, nowhere close to 40mm.

looks cool

though it was my eyes that played tricks on me o.o

I second that comment! =3
I thought the same at first =P

Hehe, nope, I actualy like playing with blur that way, animating it isn't always easy, but in this case it just worked X3

Humble, aren't we? ^^

Great job.

Mrow?

Thank you :3

'I am very proud of the firing effect itself and the clearing smoke =^-^='

Egh, gotta push your own ego every now and again, especially when you know how the whole thing looks up close X3

I'll take occasional pride in a well done effect over overbearing ego or "waaaah it fails!" any day. Very cool pic. Buddies loved it and my cousin (who's just gotten back from his 2nd tour in Iraq) is wondering when he can get his.

XD I'm sorry for your cousin, I wont be able to build that for a couple' more years to come...but maybe some day =^-^=

If that thing didn't have an anti-recoil, she would kill herself...

Yeah, 40mm HV rounds would send two pounds at 1800m/s into your shoulder X3

VERY cool! me like alot! so badass ^^

Thankoo ^^

That's an awesome job you did there. :)

Thank you =^-^=

Holy fuck, I love the zoom effect!

Hehe, it wasn't as hard or complicated as many might think X3

I know, it's just something so few actually attempt. Great work all the same.

Thanks =^-^=

A head shot, you missed my vitals...

XD I need to put that on a shirt

*has CoD 4 flashbacks* SNIIIIPEEEERRR!

I love the change of focus. Looks awesome. Reminds me of one of my army-type characters (though she hates guns)

An Army character that hates guns...what's she doing in the army? >.>

I should specify that she's former military, and a close combat / Melee expert. Prefers seeing her opponent face to face.

Ah X3 well...Sharutha will be more her type then...then again, Sharutha doesn't 'see' her opponents >.>

That scared me, I didnt expect the blur switch

How did that scare you?

I didnt think it was a naimation ?

Oh XD

thats what im talkin about

^^

that turned out wonderfully

Thank you =^-^=

thats baddass *pops grapes*

Wut?

well in the real world we call sniping people "popping grapes" the grape being the head

Do not wanna be on the receiving end of that beast. :P Love the animation, though.

Note: I also love the blur-transition between background and foreground looking down the barrel and her.

A sI mentioned before, the transmission wasn't half as hard as most people think, but I'm glad people noticed adn enjoyed :3

Epic awesomeness.

Thank you ^^

I think you did damn fine..
And Cheska would want one of those.... for scaring crows.... yea....

XD Thanks a lot

genial! einfach geil^^
super gemacht!

Danke ^^

Looks epic, but...Wouldn't a gun of that caliber easily dislocate her shoulder? A 40 mm round is huge, and the recoil is high, even more so when used for a sniper weapon.
Looks unrealistic that she doesn't move at all during the shot, but the fog and whatnot looks very good.

Please check previous picture for reference

>>An electronic recoil compensator makes sure firing the rifle doesn't send Geena flying backwards.<<
Right, missed that when I read the description of the other pic. Makes more sense now. (And the epicness rises proportionally, lol)
Ausserdem hab' ich vor einer Minute erst gemerkt, dass du'n Ösi bist. Servus sagt der Bayer.

XD Scho klar Pifke :b Spaß...jo, ich bin aus dem Land der Berge, oder zumindest wohn ich hier unten, eigentlich bin ich Finne XD

'n Finne, der in der ehemaligen Donaumonarchie wohnt, das is ja mal lustig.
Soll's aber auch geben. Hmhmhm.
Mal 'ne doofe Frage, weil ich zu Faul zum nachsehen bin, was würd' den eine commish ala diesem: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1381936/
oder jenem: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2595951/
kosten? Bin Neugierig. Und vllt kann ich's mir sogar leisten, fall du commissions ('Auftrag/Aufträge' hört sich blöd an :V ) nimmst.

Damn fine work, iPoke!

Thanks :3

A beautiful, hot day for this kind of job. I like it!

=^-^=

If I can ^^ I want to add sound to this ^^

If you find a good sound, go for it. I don#t have flash at the moment, which is why I didn't

I would be SOOO afraid of that recoil!

Egh, recoil dampener makes it bearable

After you fire an anti-tank rifle you have to say something witty like "Tanks a lot"

Now I bet that would get one hell of a headshot. I want one, do you take cash or credit? xD

Cash plz, Credit card transactions can be tracked

Aww, c'mon, that thing has less recoil than our .416 Rigby.

*shrug* Can't do everything in one go, recoil ain#t easy to reproduce in a picture, especially when there's so little reference of people firing 40mm rifles X3

But yeah, i agree that even for a recoil-dampened 40mm, this is somewhat little. On the other hand,t eh focus was more on the effects than anything else

i like teh moving pix. we need more on FA

Yeah X3

Looks like you got some hella compensators on that thing! Keep up the good work!

~R

Yup, she does

Thanks :3

Awesome peice of work!

Thank you ^^

Wie geil is das denn? Gute Arbeit!

Danke

Oh wow, I really like this!

Thank you ^^

I think I'm in love

Excellent job!

=^-^=

Having fired a 20mm antitank rifle, I think you need significantly more recoil. My 300-poundedness (at the time) was shoved back about six inches.

I already mentioned that there isn't nearly enough recoil, despite the weapon having a dampener in it

the Lahti had shock absorbers and a huge muzzle brake. :)

Thank you =^-^=

*BAKOOM!*

. . .

*CRUMPF*

I like the incorporation of the real terrain pictures. Works so well you don't hardly notice.

I agree it needs more recoil. If you plan on touching this up in the future, you might want to have a little bit of blur and/or shakiness of the camera from a sort of mini-shockwave that firing a gun of this size might produce.

each time it fires, an angel dies XD

i want one. gimme!

Great animation.

that is ddaaaamn awsum!! :D

plant butt of rifle firmly in gut.
point opposite your destination.
apply pressure to trigger and break flight zoning laws!!!!1!!

Woah, awesome.

Though, would definitely still say that there would be enough recoil to seriously bruse at least.

Still, looks very cool, well done.

Great work on that! The change in focus was cool :D

Excellent work!

This is just so much awsome

If that isn't something you should wear ear protection around, I don't know what is.

Very cool. You can almost hear the ear-deafening roar. Hope she's wearing ear protection!

Could I suggest something, for maybe cleanup or future gun shot things..?

If the gun fires, and is slung backwards, it should lift slightly off the ground and remain at a more backward position due to the power of the gun firing... also if that were a real shot, the ground dirt should fly up and not clear as fast as the firing smoke :3

Just a few things, but other than that, awesome picture... very lovely! :3
My char, Jenna, is also into big guns, mostly triple-barrel gatling guns (the kind that mount on vehicles, but she carries them right-handed)

I was about to ask why it wasn't rifled when I realized it was a muzzle brake :P

The M82's bigger, nastier brother. I want one!

That thing could easily penetrate light vehicular armor, and depending on shot placement, could actually incapacitate a tank. I don't *think* it could penetrate the armor of an M1A2, but I wouldn't be willing to take any bets...

Also reminds me of Police Girl from Helsing...

Excellent use of depth-of-field.

Fucking great!

awesome animation

XD is she firing that one-handed?!

very nice man its a wonderful little animation.. but with a kick like tha wouldn't that... break almost every bone in her shoulder and then some?

Sometimes, I really hate physics.

Need audio.

again excellent job on this one. love the look, the angles and especially the dust cloud

I love what you did with the FoV!

Ich verlange ein Bild, auf dem die Kugel in eine Melone schlägt :D
ich müsste zeichnen können und animieren, ich würd dir das so als Giftart schenken xD

Heh heh, veeeery nice ^^ ^^

Great work with the smoke effects. Definitely a favorite. Cheers!

-VV

love it

And the target was struck with such velocity that it shit its entire body inside out before exploding like a 20lbs block of C4 was set off in its chest.

There was nothing left to bury.

I love the way it refocuses on her after the close up of the barrel!!

now That's a B.F.G.

I think it is a very good animation all the way around. Smoke effect, recoil, what looks like a bit of dust being kicked up as it is fired... All good.

this.
is awesome ! :D

zum glück hab ich dich auf meiner watch list ! XD

btw:
ich hab bei der animation sofort an dieses vid denken müssen x3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xh2tfZrhB0

o-ha... >__>
ich mach mich hier ja schon selbst zum idioten...
ich hab dich ja doch noch nich auf meiner watchlist >__>

/retard

HAHA! I just noticed that when it fires, the scope totally plows the poor thing right in the Goddamned eye. Dampened recoil sure, but just be prepared to visit the ER to have your eye pushed back out of your skull socket. XD

even with dampened recoil the sound vibrations alone could rattle her teeth out.

That's awesome! Love how you did the blur focus and the firing animation.^^ The rifle reminds me of the Barret 50 cal. XD

Amazing job with the perspective, man. The focus effect made it even better XD

try adding a little gun-flare? a gun that size would SURELY have a blast, lol. that thing is bigger than a .65 cal, so it's pretty much a hand-fired cannon.

I love the focus pull!

"Thanks FOr standing still Wanker!" -Sniper (tf2)

BANG!
Good job with this animation, wanted to do something like that myself, but never found the will X3

Very cool. Jeeze the recoil could leave one heck of a bruise.

Very cool. Jeeze the recoil could leave one heck of a bruise.

It could, but it's not as bad as it might seem to be. You shouldn't fire it without her having instructed you on the system first

40mm do I read correctly? Mount 4 with a chain fed mechanism and you have a handy AA.
Speaking of which, how is it reloaded? I'd imagine something like a shotgunn?
