The Flintlock Pistol
(Despite the avie shown in this video, this item will fit both Male or Female avies)

Why would you want a weapon that's EASY to use? Why not use one that's painfully complicated and unreliable instead? Make life difficult for your killer with the Flintlock Pistol. This painfully detailed old-timey shooter includes terribly detailed animations for both shooting and reloading, and even includes all the accessories necessary for every horribly slow shot. Pour, mix, stuff, it's like a cooking show every time you reload!

Commands:
"Fire" - For a simple, forward fire (good for sitting or standing)
"Fire>" - To shoot Right
"Fire<" - To shoot Left
"StandingFire" - For a dramatic, full-body, standing shot
"Reload" - For a very realistic, aka VERY SLOW, reload

PLEASE NOTE: This item fits Male and Female avies equally, but is found under Male Accessories. It replaces avie body channel 74. Extremely few items use that body channel, but if they do, they will either remove this item or force this item to removed. If you find the pistols vanish well changing outfits, it might be because of this conflict. Please use "Try It" before then "Buy It", to ensure it works with your wardrobe.

Wish the wood stock was darker? The barrel gold-plated? And how about some SOUND EFFECTS?! Well then, get to work and DERIVE it! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Here are the templates you'll need below:

If you want to add sound, and you SHOULD, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Please keep your sound volume levels within acceptable limits. DON'T MAKE YOUR SOUND AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! Loud sounds will annoy other users, and reduce your sales. Also avoid using Looping sounds, as IMVU has no controls to stop Looping sounds once they start playing.
