Rock throwing weapon...

I'm making a rock throwing weapon for a Halo CE Campaign mod comming up but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. It would have tags unlike any other weapon and would need a custom animation (arm throwing the stone). Other than that I know there is a custom weapon tutorial but I thought that this was so unique that it really didn't cover it. Also I need the rock to curve slightly down because rocks never fly perfectly straight forever. ANyways, any help would be apprecieated greatly.

You can add lob/wieght to projectiles (such as a grenade or FRC burst).

Hmm... yea, that is pretty much what I was thinking, thanks. Also, when I model the weapon do I need to also model the hand or can I use the bipeds hand? Also is there a way to replace the energy sword model, with a baton and have it a new weapon? It's basically the same idea, the baton, it just does less damage, which is easy to lower.

*EDIT*

ACTUALLY, since there are going to be no grenades in this level would it be able to switch out the models, remove explosion, and adjust the damage it does?
