Hey guys and gals,
These are fun to make, all you need is two programas: Paintshop pro7, and a program called Animagic GIF.
In paintshop you have to make every frame for the gif and then open it in the Animagic program and it will play each frame. The M1 has 5 frames and the group of soldiers fireing took 16 frames, so that shows you how it kinda works.
You have to buy paintshop pro but you can download the Animagic program, just do a google search for it and download it. Thats what I did.
