Lookin' good.
Rokker said:fun fact of the day-
American soldiers who were good at shooting clay pigeons were given M1897 shotguns and stationed in trenches. If a granade was thrown in there areia, they would deflect it with a round of shot, just thought some would find this intresting.

I love that first revolverRigadoon said:Update #19 Pistols, Sentinels and Stormtroopers
Here again with another update. This is a typical render update but one of the larger ones. Next update, I'll start giving more information on how we're doing in other departments such as coding, sounds, and animation. Also, we'll be showing a bunch of in-game screenshots and possibly videos, since, thanks to DanyEle, both factions are now "playable," but far from finished. For now, enjoy some new models.
In earlier previews and updates, we showed two revolvers, one French and one German. For those who missed them;

These revolvers might be outdated by WWI, but they're far from useless and will be an option for those who value power and/or prefer old fashioned firearms. For those who want to be armed with the latest, we have semi-autos! Here's a Ruby pistol, which were very widely used by French officers.Model:Betaknight, Texture:Rigadoon
Oh no, why isn't there another image in this block. Something's not right. Yup, the most important pistol of them all isn't here. Sorry but the Luger is a lot more complex than all of these and it'll be a little longer before we can show it. I didn't want to delay an entire update for one model so you'll have to wait till a bit longer to enjoy the glory of the Luger. Perhaps next update if things go well.Model:Rigadoon, Texture:Rigadoon
Now onto some more German uniforms. It's probably getting a bit tiresome to see German uniforms over and over again, but I think you guys will enjoy these.
Here is the uniform of Sentry wearing a Grabenpanzer. Unlike most body armor experiments by other countries, this one was quite successful and used in large numbers. It may give you descent protection from rifles at a distance and pistols but rifle bullets at close range will punch straight through it. Obviously, the disadvantage of wearing one of these is that it severely restricted your speed and movement so it was only worn by sentries, machine gunners and other soldiers in exposed positions.
To top it off, some uniforms of the elite Stormtroopers. They have grenade sacks, cloth bandoliers, and to top it off, leather reinforced trousers.
As I said earlier, next update is when we're going to start showing more in-game stuff. DanyEle joining the team as a coder has really sped up the process. At this point, most of our items are in-game but there are still minor tweaks to be made. Of course, we'd also like to show off the new scripts that have been added to bring the WWI experience to life. See you guys soon!
