Edit: Poll results are in, I'm going to model a flamethrower that uses propane tanks as ammunition
Depends on the recoil. When you're firing while aiming down the sight your screen will jerk around more than it would when firing from the hip because the gun is right up in your face. There actually won't be a whole lot of the jerky screen crap when firing from the hip, and I'm also trying reeeaally hard to make the recoil jerk as close to upwards as I can instead of in random directions, it's going OK so far, but I haven't spent much time on it
Oh god. Not the default animation. Add some good animations. People like animations. "Yay! Lets run around with rifles in one hand thats most likely to break our arms! :D". Besides, It would look nice with hands on the weaponry. Even if they used the T+T styled animations, Gravity Cat does that and his pack is popular (Yet private).

I mean, what the hell? I don't know about you guys(rest of the team), but If this crap continues, I will consider making this pack private as well...
