Gun Recoil

I got the very basics of my game going and I'm moving along quite nicely...now I would like to see if I could get the gun and the arm holding the gun to move while holding down the left mouse as to make a realistic shooting affect. Could some1 post a source code for it...I know I would use event receiver to tell when the left mouse button is being pulled down but how would I make it so the arm and gun shake?

animation?
like you make 3 animation for hands, and for gun: normal (doing almost nothing), running (moving a bit), shooting (shaking)

you can do it without animation. I made the gun shake when you move but im having trob using event receiver with the same code, so I need a sep code to make the gun shake upon clicking the left mouse button

You can rotate the camera on its X axis prior to the user pressing the left mouse button

You many need some sort of event receiver to check whether the mouse button is held or not.

When it is first pressed, record it's position, then when it is released, make it go back to the original position.
