In a fit of boredom I produced the following. It's quite rough around the edges as I only spent an hour on it, but I did learn quite a lot from the experience.

Enjoy! Comments and constructive criticism appreciated, but bear in mind that this is only a test of the capabilities of After Effects.

The noise of the gun is actually a sound effect of a CZ75 being shot in a large room coupled with the sound of the action of the pistol. Altogether I think it works quite well. :)

CZ75?

The pistol I used is a airsoft replica of a CZ75 pistol. :)

I have a German "red nine", it was a conversion piece but I converted it back to 7.63 mm Mauser. It's an M30 Broomhandle.

German > Chinese

though many of the chinese variants were in .45 ACP

They are gorgeous but very fussy and tend to eat springs.

As far as I know the version in Resident Evil 4 is a chinese variation, as is the one that Eva uses in Metal Gear solid three. I can't actually own guns over here so the next best thing is video games really D:

D: ino, sucks. fuckin bureaucrats with nothing better to do than regulate people to death.

come to the USA lol

In buying spare parts for mine i've done a bit of research on the diferent submodels. The one Eva uses in MGS3 is a Shansei Type 17 in .45 ACP, it was a moderately larger pistol than the german ones. The Hanyang C96s (another earlier Chinese copy) were original size and caliber (7,63mm). These arms are surprisingly well made compared to most chinese small arms. Though the workmanship and metallurgy of the german guns is invariably better.

The "Red Nines" had the red nine engraved on the handle, were so marked to distinguish them as 9mm pistols instead of 7,63 mm. All of the "Red Nines" were German made for the german army or as "bolo" versions for Russian export. I do not believe the Chinese ever made a production 9mm version. As such the Red Nine as featured in RE4 must be German.

The old 7,63 mil cartridge actually has more pentrating power than 9mm and has a longer range, though the rounds are closely related. the previous owner of my gun converted it to 9mm, i converted it back for originiality's sake and a bit more power.

Gun control is a good thing in some cases. I don't think people should be trusted with firearms just because it happens to be "Their right" as a citizen of whichever country.

Everything you could possibly want to know about the C96 and its variants!

Note that there are a few firms in England who do sell de-activated ones to the public, if you really desire one.
