I was wondering, how can I fire a gun?

I have my Popygun and another Gun called a Sentinel Dummy, I fire my Popygun by going into mouselook and left clicking, why doesnt this work on a my other gun?
Do different guns have different controls?

Thanks.

Yes, Floyd (nice name, very psychadelic). :)

Second Life is a Resident-created world. Likely, your guns are made by different creators. In your Inventory, you can right-click a gun and select Properties and see the creator.

Contact specific creators for help with their weapons. Or there may be a help notecard included too, it varies.

Moving this to General Topics.

Yes, it depends on how a gun is scripted, or even if it IS scripted. On the one hand, I could make a block prim, an invisible prim, a teddy bear, a lollipop or a piece of jewelry and have any of those fire giant cannonballs, regardless of the cannonballs being larger than the firing object. On the other, I could make a big, intimidating cannon of a gun that just looks like it's bristling with deadliness and yet does absolutely nothing. Or maybe fires harmless, non-pushing and non-damaging pink hearts.

The model is just show. The scripting inside is the key to everything as far as what it actually "does," no matter what the object looks like.

I remember reading about a rifle for lazy hunters that fired dead animals rather than bullets. :p

It's likely the gun might be made not to function in safe zones?

Ohhh, yes, those guns. :p

The great thing is that you can load basically anything, within a certain prim limit, as "ammo." ;)
