Pros: awesome looking, and all phong'd out... i like phong so this one is a no-brainer for me haha. Also great sounds and animations look great... but im using VALVe as usual.
Cons: i've heard something about the anims in wildbills... but thats all for me... may be a bit too phongy for some people haha.
Improvements: none really
Notes: possibly have a scope attachment option? thanks.

Pros: all seems to be perfect exactly the texture and sounds but
Cons: the animation is also good but at the reloading are really messed up because it stops reloading at boltpull !
Improvements: FIX the damn anim at reloading ;)
Pros: Flawless Model and Textures
Cons: Animations are messed up online. The Animation stops at bolt-pull while playing on live servers. I don't know if this is a timing issue or just compile issue.
Improvements: Pls Fix the animations
Pros: I will echo everyone else's comments in saying that this release is truly amazing. This is the smoothest model I've ever laid eyes on. The textures are very high resolution and... well just perfect. Model and origins give the weapon a big, beefy presence on your screen, but the lack of a scope makes sure that your vision isn't impared by the weapon. The animations are very smooth and calm. They also don't block your line of sight at any given point, so you can keep your focus on the action instead of trying to look around the gun you're reloading.
Just a hands-down beatutiful release. Congrats to all the authors for crafting such a masterpiece.
Cons: I do have one complaint. The included audio is very good, and I very much like the firing sound. However, it is pretty quiet. It almost sounds like the weapon is silenced. I was going just replace the firing sound for myself with what I was using before, but, since I liked this firing sound so much, decided to just boost the volume by 300% using a sound editor. Now everything's perfect for me.
Improvements: Boost the volume of the firing sound.
Notes: Pat yourselves on the back.
Pros: This skin really blew me away. I would even go as far as saying it is the best skin I have ever used. It is simply flawless. Textures, animation, origins, sounds, model; all perfect.
Cons: None. Seriously.
You should have a criteria for Compile, because this one is lacking.
-Problem stated by TheStealthyOne, the reload needs to be sped up, as it returns to idle half way into the sequence.
-Secondly, the sound's are a bit quiet. Although I appreciate the sounds for the way it delivers the punch this gun is known to have, it should be a bit louder.
However, that's a problem I can fix by myself (hopefully by increasing the dB and not by messing with the "channels" and the like if you know what I mean)
-Other than that, WildBill's animations are neat. Can't complain about the hand-wrap. Everything from the draw to the final bolt-pull is fluid.
I won't degrade points on the Animation criteria seeing how the Compile affects the way it functions. That's how I see it anyway.
But the problem with the compile affecting the reload time degrades the animation's potential and character.
Fix the compile problem and the low-volume fire sound and you got yourself a solid release.
