If you were to look at the back of a pistol casing in midair, you'd be able to read the words on the back of it, and see that the firing pin hits slightly off-center.

Mat is modifying the editor to be of greater use to the Sin-O-MatiXXX team. Speaking of which, there's a new member of the Sin-O-MatiXXX team: Adam Crockett. He's currently modeling the exterior of the Pillar of Autumn. The team is also currently working on bringing Cortana to life. halo Book Navigation ‹ March 16, 2001 Originally at Rampancy. up March 30, 2001 Originally at Battleground: Halo. ›
