The default arms (Soldier) were created in 3ds max. It's a biped bone structure with a skin modifier.
The animations are loaded in 3ds max.

The Soldier Art Pack also includes FBX files but I can't tell if they will open properly in Blender.

Open the stock arms in Shape Editor, it gives you a full list of nodes etc.

Try it with 2.65. I have had success importing the arms in that version. Other people have tried 2.67 and it messes up (could be junk at bottom), but they tried 2.65 and it worked.

Edit:
Don't expect the animations that were previously made for the max DAE to work with your exported DAE. You will have to create new animations for the arms.
