Animating child objects - SOLVED

=============================================================================== I solved this while writing the post. I just needed to apply rotate on the gun and movement on the hand. Thought this might be helpful to other people. It seems rotating a parent will always effect the scale and colliders of a child object. Please if anyone else wants to clarify more? ===============================================================================

I have seen a good amount of posts about this subject but no solid solution that works for me. I am trying to make a hand object that is child to the body of a character. I just want the hand to rotate and move a little along with the gun a character is holding. This is the first hangup I have ran into in this new idea im working on. I would just animate with my art but I plan on changing out guns! Here are some pictures.

I have tried this having the animation both on the player and the hand. Not the gun though which I could try and is do-able I guess!
