The Mechanical Iron

I was thinking to myself, "Catz, what if you took a gun that didn't need to be overly complicated in usage, and then made it complicated in usage?".

But man, animating the bullets going into the cylinder one by one was a fat pain thanks to SFM's painful locking mechanics.

"You can't make a full-auto, mechanical loading revolver, it's impractical!"

Engineer: "No, It's necessary"

[Kochie]

The fact that they didn’t give Engie a revolver is bs. He’s Texan.

The small shake of engineers hand when the pistol opens is so natural and smooth💯

[Lonslo]

Imagine where TF2 would be with people like this working on it

[mr.personalspace]

The animation on this is smoother than butter marinated in industrial-level lubricant. Fantastic work as always, this could be a promotional video for both your channel and the TF2 workshop community.

Why is no one mentioning engie blocking unspent rounds with his thumb for efficient ammo usage. That’s attention to detail

[oolooo]

I love how Mechanized it is while still being Single Action Only .Shows a lot of character and is appropriate for a West themed character .

[nebuelle]

I love the small detail that he holds the bullets he didn't spend in the cylinder while he ejects the others. Fantastic animation work!

[ThePivotuserful]

Love the creativity with this one. You make every bit of movement seem so fluid that even long drawn out animations seem like they go by so quickly. I do wonder how over complicated these gun loading animations can get, I'll stay tuned for that!

Engineer: *Makes such a mechanically advanced revolver*

Also Engi: *Doesn't use a speedloader like Spy does*

[HK-pqpe]

I like how the revolver's reloading thing is super complex but the gun is single action and he doesn't use a speedloader.

[bobbertbobbathon]

I love the attention to detail where he holds his thumb over the two unused bullets to prevent them from being ejected.

[bigj]

That actually be a awesome pistol for Engineer. Either it fires a accurate high damage shot slowly, or bursts several high damage shots extremely inaccurately.

[jagay]

I love your use of engineer's voicelines so much, just shows he has a good cheerful personality in the game, but in your animations it makes it 10 time's better :)

[nastygumbo]

I love how the gun even automatically does the cylinder spin

[Josbird]

The fact that his hand moves a little as the mechanical parts engage... heavenly

[NaeveSnowsTavern]

Yeah, this is definitely something engineer would do.

[ArrowSkye]

God, even the spread of the bullet holes as he rapid fires.
The detailing is spectacular.

[nathanahedgehog]

Certainly fits Engie’s character and always love seeing revolvers getting a technical treatment
