Non-mounted weapons! Is it possible?

I have these player characters that fire acid from there mouths. Does anyone have any idea how i'd go about getting an invisible weapon mounted into their mouths? I thought of putting mount0 in their mouths and using an invisible cube as the weapon model. Is there another way?

Switch to third person when running? :-)

Maybe a TGE forum would be better for this...

I did it mostly like you figured it out, by mounting it to a mount point and dismounting after use.
But I didn't actually mount the propeller, I used an image for the animation, mounted in an internal node. And whenever I activated the weapon, I mounted an invisible rectangle in the plane's front to yield the collision.
Remember that with most weapons, you actually mount an image, that doesn't treat collisions.

I did something like that on my Crowmania game. The plane had an expansible propeller ( cartoonish like ) that killed the crows when in contact.I did it mostly like you figured it out, by mounting it to a mount point and dismounting after use.
