The Altfire doesn't seem to work.
I also have my doubts about the sprites, they look unpolished.

The altfire needs a proper firing sound.

in terms of sounds: why not use this for fire sounds: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=67032
and Navaro/MagmaCow sounds for reload sequence?

You should convert all of the truecolor/32 bit PNG sprites to 8 bit paletted PNGs and then optimize them to further decrease their filesize.  By doing that I was able to get their file size down from 517 KB to 153 KB, if you don't know how to convert them to paletted PNGs through SLADE, select them all, including that one Doom format pickup sprite, and on the right, click the "Convert Gfx to" button, and convert them all to "PNG (Paletted)".



Also you should indent the DECORATE code properly, instead of indenting it with the normal spacebar in SLADE, you should indent it with the TAB key, like this:
Code:
Actor TrunkBlocker1 {     Radius 22 //The actor flag/property block goes one indent in.     Height 268     +Solid     +PuffOnActors     +Shootable     +NoDamage     +NoBlood     +DontThrust     +NotAutoaimed     States     {         Spawn: //State labels go two indents in.             TNT1 A -1 //State sequences go three indents in.             Stop     } }
Also like Gothic said, the sprites look pretty unpolished, and the grenade altfire should have a sound included instead of just being a clicking sound.

This is why you should post for every update, no matter how small or if you already posted.
The sprites remain the main problem, the shading is pretty bad.
