Either find a free model, or make one yourself. You can't do that in Sandbox, you would have to use something like Blender, 3DS Max, truCaligari, Milkshape, etc.

You CAN do it in sandbox!
Create a new map -> delete everything -> model your weapon -> press T and write /writeobj name

This will save your creation as name.obj and you will be able to open it with nearly every modeling program. But you cannot create animations with PAS.

Yup, I had forgotten about that.

Let me put it this way. It would be worth your time to learn Blender or some such free program for modeling. It'll look much nicer.

ok thanks for telling me, which one of the softwares you mentioned would be the best?

Just a quick list of 3d modelling softwares to look into, all should be free:

-blender
-wings3d
-truespace (possibly discontinued, a member who did some great stuff with it here used it, however)
-makehuman (for humans, obviously)
-misfit model 3D
-character fx
