Multiple arm animations for different weapons

Question

I am making an FPS. My problem is that I'm not sure how to do the arm animations. Should I maybe make specific animations for each gun ( Reload etc. ) or should I make it dynamic and easy to add new guns ( Which would be great ) with inverse kinematics so the arms move to the magazine and replace it by themselves. I was having trouble with doing the inverse kinematics so I'm open to suggestions :)

i use animation per weapon & no IK which is a lot of work but i personally feel it is better performance than with IK, but IK is easiest & more flexible just a few animation for a lot more poses. Unity has a great resource on this https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/InverseKinematics.html you could check it out it may take you in the direction your going. I use Blender 3d for all my character animations.
