Hi CmsToxic, Have you looked through our 1st Person Blueprint Template? It has most of the mechanics you are looking for pre-made and with a bit of adjustment you could have the effect you are looking for. Also, check our this tutorial by fighter5347, he shows how to swap the default gun out for a custom created mesh. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... I hope that helps you get started.
