Ballad of the M4 Carbine
« on: January 09, 2010, 07:42:19 PM »
While watching Kelly's Heroes and exploring web topics on Blender 3D today, I came across this little bit of animation.

Just thought I'd share...

Even moreso than the horrible pattern...

Uh...  Why would American, UK and Australian folks use Israeli M4's?

Does Israel even locally make M4's?

Why were the muzzle flashes different colours?

Impressive mag capacity.  Hundreds of rounds fitting in a standard 30 rd mag.

None of the tracers collided.  On auto, it happens a lot more than you'd think when you have multiple MG's firing on the same target.

To be fair, I've been playing with Blender software for a while.

He did better than I ever could, even with the "oopses".   =)

Wah?  V-notch front sight posts?  Higher fire rate than an Rheinmetall MG-3?   Those are oopsies?


Na, just kidding.  Guy does very good work.  Song was quite beautiful, I listened it a few times.

Pretty good animation, but I must have missed the point of the whole thing.

How would they hide the signature Tardis sound?  ;)

If I had a rifle that made that sound I'd be too busy giggling like a schoolgirl to bother aiming.  =D

We had a factory that chopped M16A1s down to M4-like size, does that count? :D
