Reloading the M24

In real life, the M24 is loaded one roud at a time, through the ejection port. It doesn't have a magazine.

This should be easy to animate and the code can just be stolen from one of the shotguns.

The M24 does have a magazine, which many people believe it hasn't. The reason is probably that the feed is a 5 round internal mag, and not external. so, if the annimation were to be changed, as you say, it would be to put 5 rounds into the ejection port, and then in to the internal mag. Not a 'round at a time'

Sorry, I didn't get that across clearly.
By not haing a magazine I meant that it doesn't have a detatchable box magazine, as Battlefield 2 leads people to believe. I know that it has an internal magazine.

Probably should've read through my post before submitting it.

Okay Kirk - I thought that might be what you meant! Just clarifying!
