Ah yes, the prospect of using generic animation sets to make characters do things in a way that may not match their canon personalities and then think of it as some kind of official hidden secret.

Gamers, how could you all fall so low?

but it fuels fanons! :DogeKek:

    I wonder what the animator used for reference. I just noticed Alicia pulled the trigger with her middle finger from the second shot onward.

    Its the “Mad Minute.” It's a style of bolt cycling that the British army trained to do before WW1. You hold the bolt between your thumb and index finger and pull the trigger with your middle finger (as observed). It helps fire the rifle faster since you can only shoot a bolt-action so fast normally.

    Cool technique. Cooler detail, love it.

    I saw a similar rapid drill for how to hold ammo for even when they just had the single shot Martini-Henry Rifles. It is cool.

    Pretty neat detail with bolt cycling technique

    I can’t help but wonder if the artist knows that “merci” does not mean “mercy”

    It actually can mean that, though it is a bit archaic. the word is rarely used that way on its own nowadays ("pitié" would be more common), but the expression "sans merci" to mean "merciless" still crop up when trying to sound fancy.
