Hunt: Showdown Martini Henry Ironside

The Martini Henry Ironside chambered in.577/450 Martini Henry from Hunt: Showdown!

Incredibly somehow based on a real thing, the Harston Martini-Henry magazine.

I've tweaked the way levering works so the gun doesn't pop open after every shot like the vanilla Martini.

The cycle of the lever works so opening the lever opens the chamber and ejects the previous round, then the closing action snaps the mechanism to drop a bullet into the lifter as it closes.

I based the magazine animations from loading to be more like the real life counterpart instead of how Hunt portrays it, though it's so fast it's a bit hard to catch.

Has a 5 round magazine and 1 can be loaded into the chamber. To load the box magazine simply pull the trigger with your hand near the top of the lid.

MARTINI-HENRY IC1. (See also, CARBINES, ATTACHMENTS) The Martini-Henry IC1 served the British Empire as service rifle for many years until it was outclassed by other modern rifles of the time due to its outdated cycling mechanism. Although it was still powerful enough to bring a target down even over long distances, reloading the rifle after each shot was considered burdensome. The owners of the rifle decided to take the matters in hand, and designed an external magazine that held five extra cartridges. In addition to the one in the chamber, it allowed the wielder to reload with one quick motion, turning Martini-Henry IC1 to a makeshift repeating rifle. But this invention had its own flaws too. Those who used the mechanism had to readjust their aiming, for the mechanism blocked some of their vision while aiming down sights.

Features

• Hunt: Showdown sounds
• Suppressor mount
• Custom suppressed sounds
• Improved lever controls
• Box magazine allows 5+1 loading
• Custom animated bits just for the magazine, blink and you'll miss it but the bullets do actually drop out of the magazine. The slow motion mod can give you a better look.
• Magazine works in all orientations. An earlier version used loose bullets that actually fell into the chamber, but that was far too unreliable with Unity physics. I did try though!
• Box magazine is so huge it might actually protect your head from shots? Maybe?
