Concealed and Animated Weaponry

I would like to briefly announce my latest product, which some people have made enquiries about - the Ordinal Derringer.

(more photographs to be found here)

This is not a strict reproduction but instead is modelled on the .410-calibre over-and-under pistols known as “Derringers”. As well as the attractive finish and pearl handle - I actually designed it to go with the outfit I am seen wearing here, from silentsparrow - the weapon can be concealed in a number of different locations of the body. No, nothing requiring lubricant, but, for instance, one may select the right ankle, and then draw and hide the weapon from that location. Each position has a specific animation assigned to it. The right ankle is my personal favourite.

The concealment points are the main feature really, but the gun itself is fairly complete, with custom animations for loading, holding, aiming and firing (the shots have recoil) and two different ammunition types. One may fire a solid slug, or load the derringer with buckshot, each cartridge having three separate projectiles. There are also the particle effects that one expects from a quality firearm, muzzle flash, muzzle smoke, impact and so on.

Readers should be advised that they can view a somewhat blurry motion picture of the drawing and concealing animations being used. I would suggest selecting the arrow button bottom right and choosing “original size”, as I was using rather primitive technology. It is surprising to me how few cinematographic advertisements exist for products in Second Life, but be assured that I will be creating them for future promotional projects. It takes but a few minutes and gives a potential purchaser a much improved impression of what it is the device does.

I have, meanwhile, been making progress regarding scavenging slugs, but I wish to save that for the point when I have actually implemented the genome function that I have been thinking of, and reproduction. The sim in question, as I mentioned, is PG, but I do not think that that covers graphic portrayals of slug birth.
