War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircraft and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
A 3D animation showing how a 2020 Colt Python revolver works. Cinema 4D was used to create each individual part, as well as animating everything. Rizom UV was used for UV unwrapping. Substance 3D Painter was used for all the texturing. Redshift renderer was used for final output of lighting and textures.

  • I'm a retired gunsmith, and I can say this is the best animation of "how it works" I've ever seen. Your rendering of detail is flawless - the lack of side pins holding the front sight; the placement of the side plate screw; the serrated hammer and lack of serrations on the backstrap - excellent. I have one of the new Pythons, and you nailed the details that separate the Gen 1 Python from the Gen 2. Superb!

    • Wish I would have found this video this morning. Nothing went wrong, but man, my hands were shaking. Fully gutted my python sitting in my truck today. Absolutely nailed the detail. I could go in and clean the cnc if you like, but I don't think it is necessary if you plan to put many rounds through it. I can feel no reason for a polish job when operating the gun or dry firing. The only complaint would have to be the sights. I have already had zero fall off once, and the front blade could use a fine line to a small high vis dot on the same orange blade( could have been tritium for the cost ) . Other than that, the gun is flawless and, in my opinion, mechanically better and more robust than its predecessor. I haven't been inside a classic python in real life bur World of Guns seems to have done well.

      @bertrandlewis4906@bertrandlewis49064 ай бұрын
    • @@louisryan5815 I wouldn't say the action is less complicated. A delayed blow back (forgetting the trigger) only has to strip a round, feed it and then hold the pressure, eject and cycle. Most of this is done through linear movement and there is little to no control over the cycle. The pressure does this for you. The revolver is working on mechanical timing in a circular motion. Each chamber has to line up, each stroke to cycle the new chamber has to align. This is technically why I think if you were to build your own pistol most people would design a blow or delayed blow back rather than a revolver. I'm not a fan of the revolver, given the choice I would have a delayed blow back. But I do appreciate art when I see it.

    • If you check out the C&Rsenal Primer series, they now have several detailed episodes covering the history of revolvers from the 1830's onwards. The basics of how to make a good single action only revolver were pretty much sorted by 1851, when Colt produced their famous Navy model. Sorting out the best way to make double action revolvers work took several decades more, with most of the key inventions coming from Europe. I think most of the action design features in the Python will also be in the revolvers Colt produced for WW1 service. The obvious exception to that might be the use of transfer bars, which only seem to have become popular after WW2.
