I believe the only way to do this is you have to do a model edit in order to accomplish this. Not sure if you can do it in hammer.

Parenting the cosmetics/weapons prop dynamic to the pyro and SetParentAttachment could work, going to test it.

Edit: tested it, it's tough to get right, but I got most of the groundwork done.

If you have multiple animated models which have multiple bones, then this could massivly increase the data the server has to send to every player every tik. You can check this with net_graph while playing online. This issue will not occur when the models have no colision model.
