Parent bone temporarily?

Question

I asked a similar question before, except this time instead of parenting objects I want to parent the gun magazine bone to the left arms wrist for a bit, then set it back to the gun bones.

My arms and my gun are all one armature, so I only have one armature in the scene.

What about using a child of bone constraint? BTW, tags like "gun" and "clip" aren't really good blender-related tags.. — gandalf3, May 02 '14 at 01:38
All i see is "Child of" And then i can only use objects , i dont see "Child of bone" — Knuckles209cp, May 02 '14 at 01:49

You can use the same technique as before, but using a bone constraint.

The only difference is that you must add the constraint from Properties > Bone constraints panel instead of the Constraints panel, while in pose mode:
