Runtime Weapon pickup

I've followed the Runtime Weapon creation video twice now and I'm not sure what's up but when I pick up the item it is added in my right hand slot but it is disabled/inactive.

I suspect the animator is the problem. Where in the documentation can I learn how the animator talks with the items/weapons ? It seems to me that somewhere the animator sends an event/message to the weapon to make it appear but I don't know where in the documentation that shows up or an example of that.
