Attaching a model to another model

[jackspronken]

I want to know to to attach a model to the 'main' model so that when I move the 'main' model, the other model moves with it. I'm trying to get a mini-gun to stick to a power armor suit's hands.

You find the 'Roottransform' bone of the gun, then the bone for the hand itself.

Drag the weapon's 'Rootransform' bone into the hand, then 'default' that.
You should now behold that you've just done what in Gmod would be known as using the 'Weld tool'. For making posters or pictures, linking bones is not necessary.

That is how you attach models to eachother. There's no simpler method, to my sufficient knowledge.

You got it backwards.
