Hmm. When I try to use the updated BR, it fails to show up and the error log states the model is missing hp_fire. I haven't tried the SMG, and won't be able to tonight, but I'll test it tomorrow.

A missing hp_fire oughtn't cause a CTD, I don't think.

It doesn't CTD - actually, the game continues perfectly fine, the BR just doesn't appear as a usable weapon. Incidentally, the SMG works fine. It's only the BR that's missing the hardpoint.

Ah, I apologize. I forgot to add the hp_fire in there, my bad. I'll try and update it as soon as possible.

Have fun with it

Once again, thank you MetroidNut for debugging
Revision 4
I guess I owe an explanation as to why I didn't test it ingame. Well, Battlefront II doesn't work on my Vista partition and internet doesn't work on my XP partition, so to test it I would have to 1) restart my computer and 2) find the file on my Vista partition, and I'm feelin a little lazy right now

No problem - but unfortunately, I don't believe the issues have been solved. The BR is still rotated 90 degrees, and its hp_active is on the forward hand grip, heh.

Ok, I'll try and fix it, but instead of just posting it for debugging I'll debug myself.
So maybe tommorow night I'll post Revision 5 (working Revision 5 lol)
EDIT
Mkay, so maybe I lied about debuggin myself, but some other stuff got in the way. I think I figured out the problem, and here is the latest version-
Revision 5

I'm happy to say it works in-game, and faces the right direction - it fixes all the problems of the previous versions - but there's actually one more, tiny problem. The...ah, tube under the barrel, for lack of a better word, has moved to the position of hp_active. If I had to guess, based on my limited modelling experience, I'd say you might have forgotten to freeze transforms on that object when you exported the model.
EDIT: Also, if you do go back and take another look at the model, I might suggest moving hp_active forward slightly. As it is, when held, the trooper's right hand is a little too far back.

I can't do much about that because that's the animation for the trooper, and I have no way of exporting animations. But the good news is that Revision 6 is out, and will actually work
So here it is
Revision 6

The secondary barrel is now in the right place - however, I'd still suggest moving the weapon's hp_active forward a little (that's what I meant in my previous post, not the trooper's animation). As you can hopefully see in the image below, the trooper still isn't quite grabbing the weapon's grip; you'll probably want to position hp_active right on the trigger.
