First person weapon colliding with player graphics?

Question

I'm making a first person melee based game, so I have a sword attached to my camera. I'm using the standard asset first person controller. If i try moving with the camera at a certain angle my movement is slowed and it seems to be cause buy a collision between the $$anonymous$$lt of the sword and the grap$$anonymous$$cs capsule but the capsule doesn't have a collider. so why is there any interacting between the 2 when they touch?

Create 3 layers: Player, Weapon, Everyt$$anonymous$$ngElse. Put your player capsule on the player layer, your weapon on the weapon layer, and everyt$$anonymous$$ng else that will utilize unity's physics on the everyt$$anonymous$$ngelse layer. Then you can use Edit->Project Settings->Physics to disable collisions between the weapon and player.

I need to keep the collider on the sword so i know when it hits something. great idea with the layers but for some reason it still happens. the only way i got it to stop was disabling collisions between the sword,player and sword and default. it still happen when i made it so the sword wouldn't collide with the player,the camera, or the floor and its a pretty simple sceen so i just can't figure out what its colliding with....

I even put a script on the sword that tells me when it collides with some thing and it reports no collisions but movement is still slowed. i have no idea what the problem is.
