Thanks for the input Jerry, but I know for certain (because I asked him a long time ago) that the animation is not by Henrotin. Gerard uses Corel Draw for his illustrations and animations. He has a very cool animation of the Luger firing sequence that is on a floppy disk that is an optional purchase when you buy his printed book "La Connaissance du Luger"
This animation was created by the much more sophisticated 3D graphics tool from Ulead that you indicated.
Unfortunately, the author didn't record his identification inside the file...
Anyone else got any ideas on who might have created this animation? I figure that it has to be someone that likes both Lugers and Computers... so sooner or later he or she should show up here at the forum...
One of the reasons that I want to find out who did it is that there is an error in the sequence shown in the animation...
Anyone care to venture a guess of what the mistake is?
We shall see just how observant the forum members are and how knowledgeable they are about the mechanical operation of the Luger...
