> A gun like that would eject a LOT of shell casings, right?

Yes, i'm going to animate shells, smoke and fire.

To animate particles (shells, and smoke pufs) I will perhaps write a small 
C++ program to generate .inc with objects positions for povray.

Most objects will be macros (not just #declare objXxx = ...) abnd they will 
have arguments CLK and RND, where CLK is local time of an object (i.e. 
since it is an "actor" in a scene, if bomb is seen in main animation 60s to 
70s then its CLK = clock - 60; and if then I deside to put something before  
entire bomb-scene, then CLK(of bomb) = CLK(of bomb scene) - 60;  and CLK(of 
bomb scene) = clock - 15;  etc...)

Simmilar with random seed - that will be used to randomize some details.
