Pistol Animation | Vicon Mocap

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

This pack includes 256 motion capture animations covering relaxed pistol movement, ADS (Aim Down Sights) movement, firing, melee attacks and reloading, turns, moving turns, walk/run transitions, 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.
