i feel like the shooting animation is janky, any ideas on fixing it?

You could try to make the rise faster, almost instant, and then do the fall slower. These two phases shouldn't last the same amount of time because then it looks weird and robotic. The model looks good tho.

This could be an example 👍

Cool animation.

I think you should use the instant keyframe, no interpolation, to give a bigger impact visually.

Use the square keyframe.
