Dear bullet forum users

I know that to simulate my character mesh in bullet i should use a capsule (like in the demo), but my character mesh can hold weapons like sword and axe, so how to represent those objects in bullet? how to know if the sword has collided with any other mesh

The manual has a diagram (below) that can be used to find out which shape to use (or not).
And the Bullet Wiki [1] has some articles talking about collision detection [2][3][4].

Personally I would use a stick to represent anything like a sword or an axe, because it is simple
