Weapon animation reload question milkshape

[Scientific Squid]

I was wondering if when you animate a gun in milkshape if you have to add joints and animations for when you reload the weapon.

Also, does your gun need to be welded untill the very end when you have to unweld it and export it?

Thanks, I have figured out one of my questions. But I still have one of my questions unanswered. I looked all over on those suggested pages and couldnt find anything. My question is, do you have to keep the gun welded the whole time untill the very end when you unweld and export the gun?

Actually, I still have all of my questions unanswered.

Can someone tell me if you need to make the reloading animation in milkshape or if you need to do make it in another milkshape file or something.

You need to make it in milkshape

In the same Milkshape file that has all of the other animations in it, (other animations being recoil or chamber slide going backwards) or in a different file with just the reload animation and no other animations with it?

I know I asked this question before, and I am sorry I'm repeating myself so much, but I never got a really clear answer for this.
