Ok heres what I got so far, it does exactly what I need it to do EXCEPT remain locked to the camera like a gun hud, which i suppose is the easiest way to do something like that in retrospect. Which if you wouldnt mind giving me a hand with
( I have no idea how to make vweaps gunspecs etc, but it doesnt need to be animated just hide or show the model when I need it)
but yeah link to plr, so what this does is when you click an item, centers it in screen, disables the player, rotates the item around its y axis then when player clicks, destroys the item and returns player control.
Since I cant get it to remain fixed wherever the player looks, locking the player cam seemed like the obvious comprimise

I tossed that into a stock ww2 brown radio, set it to dynamic, immobile no, physics yes, active yes.
