I wonder what the animator used for reference. I just noticed Alicia pulled the trigger with her middle finger from the second shot onward.

I really want a new entry, or ports of the originals

Its the “Mad Minute.” It's a style of bolt cycling that the British army trained to do before WW1. You hold the bolt between your thumb and index finger and pull the trigger with your middle finger (as observed). It helps fire the rifle faster since you can only shoot a bolt-action so fast normally.

Cool technique. Cooler detail, love it.

I saw a similar rapid drill for how to hold ammo for even when they just had the single shot Martini-Henry Rifles. It is cool.

Pretty neat detail with bolt cycling technique
