For those interested in the mechanics of firearms, there is a great game[1] which teaches assembly and maintenance of various weapons along with X-ray views of their operation.

This graphics are great ,no question,but text in a gif image is not.This is a clear case where embeded SVG could help The graphics here are not interactive.What about stoping an animation,playing it forward,backward,...

I absolutely love visuals like this. There are things that I don't think I ever would have understood had I not seen an animated sequence of events like the ones on this site. I can forgive the heavy use of text within the images, since it makes the images easier to share without missing critical info (it IS just a wordpress site)

I've always thought xx-graphs would be better served with h264, with gif as a fallback. Each frame is almost the same, seems a bit of a waste.

These are really cool! However I wish some of them animated a little slower or let me select a section to animate at a time.

Amazing work! Love his about:

"f you’re gonna do something you might as well do it RIGHT. Right?"

I am impressed at the efficient compression. Low color depth and dithering I guess?
