    I dont remember if this correct but if you want to animate the prop while also having it welded to someone's arm here's how you do it.
    First, give it a handle blah blah blah like shown in the video
    Then Just click RIGHT/LEFT ARM in the rig, hold ctrl, and click the handle, then Press Join
    And put the sword model into the rig
    Now you can move the sword

    one ency tenancy problem that only affects me and probly not many other people, the sword m1s have to much leadup and a crap load of overswing, honestly its not that big of an issue but as a hema nerd I notice those kind of things.
    i might sound pretentious but hey man i know what ime talking about.
    an explication of why thoes 2 things are a bad thing, if you were to telegraph your cut as much as the character did someone fighting you would be able to read what your going to do and your going to get puneshed. also the overswing leaves you wide open to atack so someone could atack you in those moments.
