How do i make an equippable weapon?

I have followed the tutorial on how to create an item following this guide: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/SimpleMod/item.html
I have done the following:
1. Extracted the mesh for the Xeno-Zapper using FModel
2. Made a few adjustments to the mesh
3. Made new textures
4. Set it up following the tutorial (FGItemDescriptor)
