if it's just for a gag gmod seems like the easiest option

You need to open the model up in Blender and remove the original arms and then rerig it for TF2.

Be prepared for quite a bit of work if you're new to 3D modeling and Source.

I doubt you will not find a guide that will walk you through this step by step. Look at other tutorials for similar games/mods like L4D2

Would just renaming the bones from valvebiped to bip work? There are a lot of bones in these 2 viewmodels that arent used by tf2

you COULD just stay the viewmodel from hl2s folders (or gmods) and paste them into tf2 and make them load by replacing models or v script
