Just in time for the Fantasy Faire and the steampunk-themed SL19B anniversary, Walton Wainwright's dueling pistols come with a seriously cool feature I haven't seen in Second Life up until now: Revolvers that can spin in-game:

If you're wearing the gun as an accessory, we've included multiple gun spinning options, a stylish toss, occasional reloads and other idles that play randomly, which can also be toggled off in our menu if you're looking to not twirl your gun or reload all the time.

Watch the trailer above for the supremely cool effect. This is made possible, Mr. Wainwright explains, by SL's recent avatar skeleton upgrade: 

"SL has attachment bones that can be animated, so the guns were animated by one of my good friends by keyframing attachment points through Avastar," he tells me. "The gun itself is centered right where the trigger is, so when it spins it spins on the correct axis and center point."

Wainwright allows that Western-themed roleplay is not as popular as it once was ("In general I've noticed there's been a reduction in roleplay sims in the last few years"). But then again, wherever there's roleplay with pistols, the desire to spin those pistols is sure to be fast behind. Like a bullet with your name on it.
