In the near future I see myself getting a gaming PC or Laptop, and while The list of games I will get are small, they will only be for Restored Content mods and De-bugging the game with console commands. (Both games on my list so far are from Obsidian, lol)

Intros out of the way, I was thinking about making an Armor & Weapon Mod for New Vegas. The weapons and armor are heavily Star Wars inspired. The weapons work like this: the Rifle uses a side-mounted Magazine much like a WW2 British Sten SMG but is an energy weapon, and the pistol uses the Microfusion Breeder ammo (the weapon that I'm using for inspiration has unlimited ammo, and thus, no reload animation).

Since there are no Vanilla NV guns that have a Side mounted Magazine, how would I go about creating that animation? Would I have to borrow assets from a WW2 mod to get it? Or is there another way?

Any help is greatly appreciated, and if the policies allow for it, I might add a video from the game I am drawing inspiration from.
