Many people buy cool weapon skins because of their cool skins, but sometimes these weapons also hold custom noises that people often look for in a skinned weapon
Most of the time, when people purchase a skinned gun thinking they would get a cool noise or animation upon shooting,etc, they get disappointed that the result is just the default noise but the skin's just changed.
I suggest that gun animations should be viewable on the shop, my idea for how it would work, is that you could either right click the item in the shop itself and it would play the shooting animation, or the mouse could hover over the shop item for 5 or more seconds and it would auto-play the animation on the shop itself. kind of like a looped animation.
