Now I just need a zap noise.

I finally made a gun fire yesterday. I now have a rather simple looking energy blaster. My biggest problem, as a friend had to point out to me, was getting the bullet inside the blaster to be both physical and temporary, because it kept not copying the changes to the bullet that was inside the blaster.

Rotation has proved to be a problem too, as when I first tried with a cylinder, equipping it to my right hand had the ends of the central hole pointing left and right, and sometimes up and down, making it look like I'd turned my hand into a hammer. I could not get it to point forwards, so I made my next attempt out of an altered sphere.

I did manage to use a glow effect to make the bullets became energy blasts though.
