You need to:

1. split the item table after the last weapon record
   
   • the weapon index in the table will define which animation is to be used, weapons have to be at the top of the table
   • this might require moving the table, editing pointers
2. add your weapon after the last weapon, and put the rest of the table after
3. then again, pointers maybe
   
   • the index value for animation is coded on 8bit so you can have up to 255 weapons in your table
4. edit the animation files M*bip.inx in the char/tmABCD folder to integrate your new weapon index
   
   • if you use the currently existing M*bip.inx files you'll see that you have a limited space to add weapons. Until someone decypher those files you can't add as much weapon as you want.

In the .inx files you can find patterns like

YY YY YY YY AA BB CC DD EE FF GG

representing list of indexes (indexes being the index of weapons in the item table). YY YY YY YY is the 32-bit number of elements in the table, then AA, BB, .. are 8-bit indexes. All these values are hexadecimal (0 - F).

For instance

04 00 00 00 54 55 56 57

If you want to fetch the item indexes from your item table, you can use this tool I made called Item Table (http://pt.gregooverse.net/?c=program). It's not perfect but it gets the job done.

Good luck (:
