Notes/Tips on weapon animations:

+ Have the player model scene open before importing a weapon's skeleton.

+ Weapons should have one base model parented to "Bip01 R Hand".

+ You can add children to the base but try not to add children to the children of the base.

+ Export weapon .baf animation only of moving children of the base.

+ The weapon base should always stay fixed to the Right Hand (Try not to animate the base directly).
