What i mean is this => the animation will get triggered automatically. So nothing has to be done in code, well, nothing unusual at least. I just thought too complicated. So forget everything.
Only question is: shooting animation will be in mdc, right? Then one could make a weapon.cfg like this:
///////////////////////
//
// Akimbo Colts
//
///////////////////////
newfmt
// config file for weapon animations
// barrel barrel
// first length fps looping anim bits animated weap draw bits

0 1 20 1 0 0 0 // ALTSWITCH (SA) new alt-mode switching anim
0 1 20 1 0 0 0 // ALTSWITCH (SA) new alt-mode switching anim
I really hope this works, would need just the model with animation in it so i can try 
Kirby will simply flup down the barrel and come out at front as missile. Then he will reappear again. Should not be too much of animation work, right?

Right? I think a tag is nothing but a point in the model with a name. Then you can attach parts to that tag via these weap files i guess. Correct me if im wrong. Never looked this up before.
I think this will be fairly easy once you manage to put animation in model. 
I thought noone would pick this up. Thanks for re-digging this, much appreciated.

. the plugin doesnt work as it should… and dealing with ll the tag business that i dont really understand…well dont think so… sorry…
Always thought it would be in hand of SD or id to release those tools, not Activision.
If you have more models like this Rayban, then give them to me, i need stuff like this
