or maby I just remembered somthing if you use the "zban"and Zlazh"(can't spell it) selections on the gun you could maby do it Tiwan workshop have made pistols where the Bolt moves forth and back but I am not sure precisly how it is done.

The spinning minigun is done using animations. There is a script hooked to the "Fired" eventhandler that plays the animation afer each shot. I guess the same could be done with a gun barrel and a different rotation axis.

Well, for the spinning barrels, there was another thread named "strange problem" covering the same problem.
He solved the problem using two commands:
revolving="barrels";   (the name has to be your selections name)
revolving_axis="barrel_axis";  (again readjust your name)

he wrote it worked, just read the thread for more infos

That's great!

Was it the suggestions on this thread, a tutorial or did you just find out for yourself?

If it was one of the last two, would you like to share the knowledge with the community or give a link to the tutorial so the next person that has this problem can see?

Either way I'm glad it's working for you.   :)
