Is it possible to only show the hands part of a view model?

[Cowskier]

Basically I'm making this SWEP where the weapon itself is actually a sprite. I'm trying to use the bugbait/grenade hand pose for it but I want to get rid of the actual bugbait. Is this possible? Will I have to make a custom view model? (The sprite itself is working fine)

You don't have to make a custom view model.
Entity/SetWeaponModel
Player/GetViewModel

You can just override them, or go on client, get self (for the weapon) and just simply not draw the weapon.
Then draw your sprite ontop of it after you stop it from drawing the bugbait.
