Weapon mesh

The weapon model has these components: Animator is used to animate gun parts (bolt, mag, etc.), which are automatically synced with the character’s movements. FPS Bone Visibility is responsible for hiding or unhiding bones, based on animation events. FPS Weapon Sound plays sounds related to the weapon (e.g. reloading, firing).
