Hey TomFox,

In order to add your custom weapon to the FPS template, you’ll need to first animate the gun/arms in your 3D software, import it to UE4, create any materials you want for the arms/weapon, and then simply replace the existing arms/gun mesh with yours.

Here is some documentation on importing [FBX skeletal meshes][1]. Here is also a [ Video Tutorial][2] that guides you through adding custom weapons into the game, which I found from a [forum post][3] for the same situation.

Cheers!
