Gun mesh problem

First question: why my character holds the gun no matter where the weapon mesh is? Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Second question: why after importing a custom gun mesh, it is invisible? Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Thanks!

  1. This is because the weapon is set to be attached to the player via its blueprint

  2. To debug, I would play in editor, then eject from the player so you can look at the player holding the gun. I bet it’s there, just offset somewhere in the world.
