Hello!!

I need a tutorial on how to make third person character animations for weapon fire. I know how to make walking animations an dying animations and first person animations, but i do not know how to make Master Chief hold a weapon in third person and fire it correctly in third person. I tried to load up his third person fire animations, but they get all messed up when i load them. I can load all the other animations fine, but all the fire animations are weird an messed up.
I loaded the pistol fire animation ONLY, because i used it's third person animations along with Master Chief's animations, but i can't load any of the other animations to see how they did theirs.
