Not a model animation, i don't think. But you can use a complex func_train to make things move.

Its fairly simple to add animated models to maps thanks to some extra code in Trem.  I think the entity is called something like misc_animation.  Whatever its called you can find it in the entities.def file along with a description of how to use it. 

As far the the weapon models, they aren't really animated... The models themselves are attached to a tag which is animated and the flash for the weapon fire is controlled by client code which turns off and on another 'flash' model thats attached to the weapon (also via tags).  So depending on what you actually want to do, it make take a fair amount of model work.
