My computer is top-notch, so I doubt it. The weapons animations I post are perfectly clear.

"They can't feel the weapon if they see that there is obvious looped part. The weapon will look unrealistic." No matter how many times I read that it will never makes sense. Looping it either here or there will not change the weapon animation, only when and for how long it plays.

No, it is not art. Art isn't just any collection of smears on a page, any collection of sounds, or jumble of words - art has a message, a deeper meaning - art is an expression of the artist's ideas. Can GIFs be art? Yes, they can, but that does not automatically make all GIFs art. Can photoshopped materials be art? Yes, they can, but that does not automatically make all photoshopped materials art. Simply recording something is not art. The thing being recorded might be art, but the actual recording is not. If that were true then I Could walk into the Louvre, take a picture of the Mona Lisa, and be considered one of the greatest artists who ever lived.

And Journalism is not just writing. Writing is a certain approach to journalism, but there are others such as photo journalism and video journalism. Making GIFs is a skill, a science, and video/photo journalism.

How the bullets cluster does not change the actual animation, which GIFs aim to show. Like I said, if you want to include them in your sets, that's fine, but I will not waste my time on them.

Furthermore, just where did I say that you're animations are bad? The animations that I, first, uploaded, and the ones that you, later, uploaded, are of about equal quality. The fastest GIFer wins. I respected that when Blue uploaded certain GIFs before I did (Such as the GP M16A4), and you should when I upload some faster than you do.
