Where to find resources on animating weapon animations with a weapon

What I want to do is to be able to animate an R15 rig and a weapon together in blender.

As shown in the gif below, the moon animator allows me to create and save animations of the R15 rig and the handle of the blade. This allows me to move the blade without having to move my hands. If the animator did not recognize the motor6D attachment from the right hand of the rig to the invisible “Handle” brick, I would have to move my hands to animate the weapon which can make it look weird.

The moon animator is great for allowing this, however, the moon animator does not come with ik constraints. The roblox animator comes with ik constraints, but for some reason, does not recognize the motor6D attachment from the right hand of the rig to the “Handle” brick as shown in the gif below.

Which brings me to want to use blender because I have seen people create weapon animations to be used in roblox and it offers ik contraints. I know how to import and animate in blender, and i know how to export that info back to roblox. What I don’t know how to do is import a rig with a weapon, animate with the weapon in blender and export that information of the rig animations and the weapon animations back to roblox.

The plugins I have are the Blender Animations roblox pluggin, as well as the roblox obj importer pluggin written in python for blender.
