HElP with weapon modeling

[BlackRaven]

Hello i would really appreciate it if someone refered or helped me with a problem i am having. I have xsi and i have finished a weapons model..now my problem is putting it ingame i can make props but i dont know how to export weapons right..i use normal hl2 hands and set them in the right spot holding on to the gun..this is where i am lost. i assign a bone to each of the parts of my gun then export it but in model viewer after i compile it..the gun is not there and the hands are in normal position..could anyone tell a good place where to find out how to export weapons from xsi...

You might want to check out the Valve Wiki. It tells you how to rig hands, and export stuff like weapons.
