No, I recently discovered whats going on. I myself having gmax wanted to make a new weapon, and it worked fine. But when I put it in-game, I couldn't see my weapon while holding it! Turns out, the reason is because you need to name the "frame" as "frame gun" for first person models. Since chimp cannot export things unless they are attached to the frame, it is impossible to export this as "frame gun." Therefore, you cannot make a first person model unless you have 3ds max, which I find extrememely gay, or, somebody could make an exporter that you can name the frame as frame gun instead. Sorry, just had to prove everybody wrong.
