It would take an hour for the script, two weeks for the model, since many scripters aren't good modelers.

Almost every weapon has a nearly identical script, it's the model that varies the most(Exception: really unique weapons). And you know what? A recoloured rocket launcher would be sufficient here.

You've obviously never made an add-on. It took me approximately thirty minutes to make my TF2 emotes script and roughly an hour, maybe two, to model a gun.

It was an incredibly crappy and un-detailed explosion, with a few large emitters.

WAIT WHAT ARE THESE THINGS YOU CALL EMITTERS THEY MUST BE BAD

On the contrary, I am currently working on a settings dialog where the settings form an expandable tree as a component of something larger.

However, I am really fond of generalization and exageration, and once you consider weapon states, it could easily take longer to create a full weapon. Plus, this would be an imitation, so more time would be spent adjusting the particles than for a mere emote.
