This was in the mod at some point but got removed

I don't know how to import models, so this wont happen unless another modder makes a pull request to the github

Also not everyone has portal/can mount it

can't you just extract the portal gun models + materials from portal's "portal_pak_dir.vpk" file and put it in your mod? (i have never made a mod for gmod as i only do things with other source games)

Yes, you can. However that's adding a lot of bloat to the mod and is a kind of piracy, so I think mounting is the way to go.

Portal / Portal 2 model mounting was added in this commit[github.com] and then removed in this commit[github.com], which is labeled as a "bugfix". I assume it was causing some problems somewhere, so unless Mee specifies otherwise I won't be making a PR for it again any time soon

it was causing some issues with weapon animations and viewmodels

I think the ar2 feels nicer anyway, the portal gun feels “heavy”, while the ar2 feels “light”

:3

What were the issues?
Also there may inevitably be at least some Portal-series packaging to cater and do since mostly everyone else likes the franchise and it's iconic gun.

I mean, literally the only reason I have't done it is because I dont know how to import models and im not willing to learn source ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to do so

you can use gcfscape to open portal 1's dir files and find it there (i think it's in pak01_dir.vpk) and you can extract it to garry's mod

Okay yeah, I understand a similar feeling.
I also wanted to know what the issues exactly were with the animations and viewmodels that deemed it necessary to remove mounted model support.

the model was built for chell.mdl, not player.mdl, so bones were just completely wonked and the portal gun ended up being parented to your stomach or something

Can something like SWEP:DrawWorldModel()[wiki.facepunch.com] remedy this without editing the model itself?

I would actually rather it not be a portal gun model at all, since the portals in the mod look nothing like in the portal game

this mods portal gun was originally made as a proof of concept tool, but I feel now it is probably one of the main reasons this is downloaded

which means I may need to rewrite it, maybe with some cool effects and a custom model unique to this addon.. or something
