{{Quote|Robt McLees is definitely the go-to guy for the gun stuff. I wanted to come up with an animation for the sniper scope, an 'idle cycle'. If you activate the scope, and then sit too long without doing anything, the animation would kick in periodically, just to keep things interesting... Simple, right?... He replied, "No way. If you adjust your scope in the field, you're dead. Snipers don't do that". That's how detailed his weapon designs are - not just guns, but how they work, and how a sniper would fire them.
