2.0 Grenade Launcher- More Possibilities

I viewed the GL model in the HLMV, it had 4 idle, fire and reload animations, unique idle, draw, reload and fire animtions for a GL with 4, 3, 2 and 1 grenade in it. You can make stuff like an ammo display easily. The only problem I see is- The idle and draw animations for a full GL and an empty GL are the same animation.

Um.. Ya. Why wouldn't they be? The GL has four chambers, the reason why there are differen't animations for each thing is because each chamber is different. Once empty, it will have done a full circle, and ge back at its first chamber. So therefor the animations for empty and full are the same.

But it will be a problem in some custom models. If you want to include ammo display or something, it will look a little wierd for example.

Then you just don't include ammo display! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Whats the point anways? It has the ammo counter right beneath it.

To make it look cooler.
I had some more ideas that use the multiple animations but that problem pretty screws them up.

As far as I see it, it didn't matter in ns 1.x, why should it matter now?
Ammo counters aren't cool, they are just a waste of space for something you already have..

MP3 players on guns are coolest!

Say it's an LCD counter. Why not have the counter off when it's being drawn, holstered?
