Weld the handle to the left hand, rather than the right.

You actually can't. You would have to use a Hopperbin, because if you use a Tool your right arm will always go up no matter what.

Info on Hopperbins:http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=HopperBins

If you can't be bothered reading all that, I'll make a quick breakdown on how its different from Tools, and its advantages.

-Hopperbins do not require a tool to Handle object to work -Your arm does not go up automatically, you can do that manually

These save a lot of troubles, even though Hopperbins are outdated.

What you could do:

1.Make the players left arm rotate upwards. To do this, simply rotate the Left Shoulder motor object inside the players torso. 2.Add a weld object to your weapon, then weld it to the player's left arm.
