Reloading animation from gun animator issue

[Serious_Adam]

I am using a basic controller without any character animator and the assult rifle i am using is using a empty game object as its base object

I am unable to get reload to work inside of the assult rifle animator.
i dont really know what im doing wrong here if someone can please help me out.
its not even triggering the state when using animator debugging.

p.s
my plan is to make the gun lower and then raise after reloading.. how can i specify the animator i want to use for the realoding animation.

Thank you
Adam
