Without tutors in MDlvis you can make the models only for warcraft 3. (MDLvis 3d editor for war3 - not for wow) (but ofc ... i see .. some guys convert models from mdlvis to m2 ..) Yes - this is possible, but you need a big help from more experienced users. Now people are able to convert from mdlvis to m2 about 6-7. Inico knows MDlvis from 2008, im also know from about 2008. The other five people have learned from me. But now most likely not who are not able teach new peoples.
best method for any weapons editing - MDLvis, Zim4ik can this via blender, but most likely will not tell how he did it.

Learning "how to convert from mdl to m2" will take about two weeks, I have no free time.
Many people ask "please write a tutor", I have reasons for not doing this. I'm Russian but Russians(others) did not appreciate the work of others.
They steal my work and making money on this. (wowjp.net e.t.c wow portals)
So sometimes I help people in PM, Provided, however, that they already good know(models from zeroanimating from zerotexturing e.t.c) MDLvis
