How to obtain the weapon 3D models for blender?

I'm curious on how I would be able to extract the 3D models from 7 days to die and put them into blender. Specifically the weapon models. any clue?

Isn't this kinda property theft if it is their models?

Kinda depends on what you do with it afterwards, doesn't it?

If you take it, tweak it, and put it in your own game it's essentially property theft.

If you take it, tweak it, and put it back in in place of the original, you've got a weapon model mod.

The very foundation of modding is built upon taking of the game, changing it, and putting it back.

Oh yeah i understand that. It's just that it's also understandable that some developpers do not make their assets accessible to be downloaded since it is their work.

I expect them to be located in steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\7DaysToDie_Data\resources.assets.resS
I haven't looked inside because Asset Studio apparently can't open .resS files, but the weapon models aren't in the ressource.assets file. Unity Assets Bundle Extractor or a similar tool should do the trick.

It was for mod purposes or at least curiosity. Been doing a few skins for this one game and I could easily get the FBX files through their SDK. But never really know how exactely I would find the models in 7 days, Since they don't have an SDK.
