And really? Looping and dashes are trivial. People go to the animations section to see just that - animations. They want to see how the gun moves, how it feels. No one's day is going to be ruined because the GIFs didn't 'loop correctly'. GIFs of weapon animations are not an art, they're more journalistic. The point of them is to show how a weapon's animations moves. It's more of a science, not an art. They can't feel the weapon if they see that there is obvious looped part. The weapon will look unrealistic.

Weapon animations ARE art. You created them in Photoshop. 100% of people who use Photoshop are creating art. Even if they don't intend to, they're still using art tools provided by Photoshop. Weapon graphics designer working for Nexon uses their creativity to produce new weapon animations, which is art. Recording a game footage is art.

Besides, journalism and science don't go together. Journalism is writing. Though they could be through media, there's a writing medium on it.

Science is knowledge gained through observation and experimentation. TopsyKretts3 wrote:

The recoil and fire speed are not the domain of GIFs. The GIFs are meant to show the weapon's animations, and the only difference between the firing and the burst animations is that one is shorter. But burst animations have a smaller recoil. The bullets are more clustered together. TopsyKretts3 wrote:

If you want to add burst animations to pages, go ahead. I don't bother with them because it's a waste of my time, but if you want to do it then no one is stopping you. But do not replace GIFs already on the wiki unless they are smaller, or of inferior quality. Both me and Blue have missed out on chances to upload GIFs that other people helped us with, but we don't make a fuss about it - we know that it's the fastest GIFer who will get the spot. So you're saying I should make bad animations and throw it in the wiki? There's no point to that if I'm going to upload another better one. It's a waste of time and upload space.
