Deus Ex Alpha

I've got a model of a pistol with animations. The original is a .x file. I've successfully converted and imported .x files before but for some reason the first person animations keep messing up and I get the dreaded "black mess" instead of a hand and pistol. I've made sure the vertices(?) don't touch, hell I've even tried importing it as the pistol alone (without hands) and it still became a black mess. I'm pretty sure the timed animations are all set correctly so I don't know what's going wrong. Can anyone help with this? The model has less than 1000 vertices, so far I've used unr2de. I can send the model in pm.
