How do I change weapons mesh

It’s hard to say without seeing the weapon system. You’ll probably need to find the blueprint for the weapon you want to change the mesh of, open it and find the mesh already there (it may be a skeletal or a static mesh). On the details panel (usually on the right hand side of the screen) you will find the mesh reference. You just click on it then select the mesh you want to replace it with. That’s the basic concept anyway!
