Website for Interactive 3D model of Bushmaster AR-15

#1

Post by LSUTiger »

I remember quite a while ago there was a website that had a 3D interactive model of a Bushmaster AR-15. ( I am don't believe it was an official bushmaster website. ) You could select and deselect layers and components to see the inner workings of the gun as it fired. I was certain I had this website booked marked but I cannot find it again.

Is there anyone who knows what I am talking about and do you have a link to this site if it is still in existence?

That page was Waybacked over 150 times. I found one from February 2012 that worked (https://web.archive.org/web/20120217132 ... master.asp) but, unfortunately, the animation used Adobe Flash which pretty much all modern web browsers have deprecated and no longer support due to the inherent security vulnerabilities that Flash was constantly fighting. If you have a computer running a web browser from at least several years ago, it might still work...but I wouldn't bet on it.

FYI, there are IE and flash emulators online that you can download to run Flash. Then all you have to do is download the old flash pages from wayback and you can still use those pages. Same for many of the flash games.
