Inconsistent behavior with viewmodel overrides

There are times that Outfitter can use the workshop model's viewmodel arms but it's mostly a hit or miss with the viewmodel arms overrides.

This was tested with two workshop models, both have viewmodels:

I'm having the same issue. Both of my listed addons have viewmodels with the first link working but the second one does not.

Since we can't use the lua that tells which viewmodel is for which outfit it makes a guess. I could try running the lua to safely extract the mapping in the future. This should really have been handled inside the mdl but I don't think we have any place to store such information easily.

(Alternatively I could make a GUI to let you choose the viewmodel, but that gets strange for players to use.)

For now I can try improving the guessing system because at least the mapping should be easy if you name things correctly:
models/raptors/producer_raptor.mdl
models/weapons/arms/producer_raptor_arms.mdl

You could go for a greedy search to look for *_arms.mdl or models containing in a c_arms/* folder but that's probably too expensive and slow.
