New to weapon animation in 3ds Max - where to start?

systemic

Can anyone suggest a good intro to/tutorial for creating weapon animations in 3ds max?

I've only found the clip below and I've watched it twice, but I'm still a bit confused on how the bones are initially setup.

well. that video covers everything to create a basic weapon rig and animation.

If you have doubts about the rigging process, i advise you to search a little bit more on rigging then.
