If you added particles to it12345 they would show up for it12345. Particles are associated with the model ID.

You can export an existing model and re-import it under a new ID if you want multiple copies of a weapon with different particles. (Probably would want to export, then import to a modelling program, then export from that and import back into the EQG file if you do go that route. Models usually don't show up right if you try to import them straight back in -- the normals need to be recalculated, I think.)

So the jist is it's possible to take an existing model, add particles, and then create a new model with it, cool deal.

I'm not sure when I'll have time to play with it, busy right now, but looking forward to when I can.
