Close to final design- Future pistol

Animation ideas:

• Movable stock- the stock will move back and forward on pistons.
• Movable barrel - when the gun fires the short barrel will move back and forward.Like a recoil animation.
• Trigger- trigger can be pulled and gun fires, activating 'Moveable barrel' animation.
• The top the pistol lifts up (as seen below) and allows the magazine clip to go into the gun at 1.
• A mechanism lifts up the top of the gun (2.) exposing the magazine slot.
• The small switch to the right of the trigger moves.
• The small barrel below the top barrel will extend out of the gun, this is a lazer sight.

Gun research

For the Rigid Body, Modelling, Rigging and Animation I decided to do Project 1, Future weaponry.

I aim to design a futuristic pistol rather than a big bulky rifle, so I gathered together some research images to help inspire my design.
