Animation editor and my gun model don't work very well together

I’m trying to make a reload animation for my grenade launcher but the animation editor doesn’t like the model for some reason and is breaking its animations. Any idea why?

the welds are interfering with the animation, making it goofy

do you want to make the flap (in the image which is over the starting barrel) also move with the handle?

i kinda want to do it like an average break action gun (like the shotgun), in the fact that only a part of the barrel opens up

Try welding the Handle to the body (not the barrel) then from the handle, create a motor6D and attach it to the part inside the barrel. (Make sure you have a part that is welded to the other parts in the barrel. And then you can attach the Motor6D to that part inside).

if the barrel was 69 inches long, which one would you place the hinge on, red or green one

if it was accurate to physics, probably red. the weight of the barrel would most likely snap the hinge
but green

i recommend animating it on the tool since i just realized that you get different results depending on if its on a dummy or not
