My m1919a6 30cal.

[bmgarcangel 0]

Hey guys,

Here is a picture of my M1919A6 30 caliber Machine gun:

I need some people to help me out with it in the field of texturing and animation.  I will put more pictures up here as it comes along.  For now, here is some info and if you can help out with textures and animation then contact me please!

M1919A6 .30 Caliber Air Cooled Machine Gun

Operation Fully automatic, recoil operated, air-cooled

Caliber .30 (".30-06") (7.62 mm)

Ammunition Ball M1; 174 gr bullet, 50 gr charge

Muzzle velocity 853.4 mps (2800 fps)

Capacity 250-round belt

Weight 32.5lbs with bipod

Overall length 53 in

Rate of fire 400 to 550 rounds per minute

Effective range 800 yds

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 41 lbs for gun and tripod, the M1919A4 was much lighter than the water-cooled M1917A1 (93 lbs for gun and tripod). On the other hand, the air-cooled weapon was unable to maintain the same level of sustained fire as the water-cooled M1917A1, and did not have the steadiness of accuracy as the heavier weapon. Also, some combat units criticized the A4 as being too slow to get into action, and that the crew was too vulnerable.

The result was M1919A6, which featured a detachable shoulder stock, folding bipod, carrying handle, and a lighter barrel than the A4. Although only 43,500 A6s were produced in WWII, compared to 390,000 A4s, and although the A6 was even less steady in sustained fire as the A4, some experts argue that the A6 was the most unique weapon in the M1919 series.

The M1919A6 did see some service in Korea, and later in Vietnam.

[bmgarcangel 0]

So, what do others think of it so far??

[Sgt. Stryker 0]

looks good, you just have to make sure you get a good skin on it, that makes a world of difference.

I can´t understand why some people doing the same addon wich are already done and don´t need something better/worst...Look into INV1944,at Great Zwadar´s M1919A6 30 caliber Machine gun.

BTW:Sorry,that´s only what I think

[bmgarcangel 0]

btw this my friend, we don't cooperate with inv44. A few of there guys cheated on us a few times, we allys mostly with the smaller ones and the big ww2ec guys.  Now, my 30cal A6 will be unique.  Oh and remember, I don't think he made a A6, I think he made a A4, thats the one that uses tripod

Anyhow, you guys have any people ya know who could help me out with textures?

Oh ya, I also plan to get the animations for the gun so when in safe and careless mode, they soldier carrys it on his shoulders

Also, guys, does, well, in the picture of the A6 on this page, does it look like the muzzle suppressor just has a small hole or is just a thing piece of metal .....arrgh ya

Ah......this site guys

I was just thinking, about the 30cal., and the ammo, and whether or not it would have had a bag attached to it, which I think it didn't, but in that case, since i'll be running around with the gun sometimes, I was thinking what would be the best way to make it realistic looking, u know what I mean?

[bmgarcangel 0]

I need people to texture it now. Anyone up for the job??

Oh and waffendenis, i've heard some things about you. Someone told me that you stole a few models from someone else. Now please tell me this ain't true!!

[drow 0]

i might be able to help you with textures if you can help me out with modelling some stuff for my vietnam island

im a graphic designer and if you have a ready made texture, thats fitted, then i can change it into a good looking texture, i dont know O2 tho, so i need the textures applied so i can retexture them, i cant make textures for a blank model yet.

[bmgarcangel 0]

Have you ever made textures for anything else before??

Well, look at how they make textures for other ofp addons. Go ahead and check out the layout. But bassically na, i'm not going to put a picture on a gun. I mean, thats what the texturers do.

Now you do have adobe photoshop right?

[drow 0]

Just to let everyone know, Waffen Denis has begun on the animations for the gun. Complicated stuff, it will take a while, but will pay off in the end

[bmgarcangel 0]

Here is another picture of the gun:

[bmgarcangel 0]

Two more pictures

[bmgarcangel 0]

Anyone want to give some feedback on how it looks?? does anybody care about my time spent building this 30cal, is anybody home. . . . .is anybody listening to the sweet sound of my cry, my cry for hope and nothing more but advice on mistakes or the way it looks. . . .

[bmgarcangel 0]

hehe I need some help with animations. I don't know where waffendenis is right now so ya.

[bmgarcangel 0]

would it be best to have an ammo box connected to the 30cal or............again, I ask this quesiton, or a stif ( some people refer to ammo belt ) that is fed into the gun>?

[Tannethal 0]

Hi there!

First it's nice to see at least someone dealing with Korea and some stuff.

the .30 cal:

The model itself looks good, nice detail on gunsight. However put a skin to it and let's see how it'll look then.

Belt vs Ammo box: Since i suppose this gun can be carried around i'd prefer a animated ammo belt. but as far as my knowledge of opfp goes the belt would just move infinite, meaning it wouldn't run out. So if out of ammo the belt would be still there.

Therefor a ammo box would be easier to realise, wouldn't it be?

S!
