Male Pistol Movements – Motion Capture Animation Pack

A complete motion-captured pistol locomotion set for male characters — built for third-person shooters, action games and any project where the hero or the enemy carries a handgun.

This pack includes 261 motion capture animations covering relaxed pistol movement, ADS (Aim Down Sights) movement, firing and reloading, turns, moving turns, strafe direction changes, a full aim offset and hit reactions. Every animation was recorded on a Vicon motion capture system and cleaned by hand — everything you need to build a complete pistol locomotion system.

Technical details:

- Recorded with Vicon motion capture system and hand-cleaned

- Generic rig using the UE5 skeleton (root / pelvis / hand_r / weapon_r …) — works with any character on the same skeleton

- Root Motion driven (Root Node: root) — enable Apply Root Motion on the Animator to move the character through the world

- All clips share a single avatar (Copy From Other Avatar), so the animation preview shows the included character

- Pistol grip baked into the hands: attach the pistol to the weapon_r bone at 0,0,0 with no offset — the support hand stays on the grip in all ADS clips

- Clean, consistently named clips (AS_M_Pistol_* and AS_M_ADS_Pistol_*)

- Built-in Render Pipeline (pistol materials use the Autodesk Interactive shader)

Ideal for:

Third-person shooters, action adventures, police and crime games, cover-based combat systems and AI enemy / NPC characters.
