Animation Script Help

Hey, I've been searching around the forums to help maybe wrap my head around this, but I can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to allow my character to "shoot" (play a recoil animation) while walking (walking animation). I can't cross fade the recoil animation because it won't play all the way through, and I tried Animation.Blend but it didn't seem to work. If anyone could help me out that would be great. Also, the recoil animation in held in a child object of the object holding the walking animation, if that helps any.

Code (CSharp):

1. //Walking animations
2. if (walkingState == WalkingState.Running && !IsAiming && walkingState != WalkingState.Idle && VelocityMagnitude > 5.5f)
3.         {
4.             WalkAnimationHolder.animation["M1911Run"].speed = VelocityMagnitude / RunSpeed;
5.             WalkAnimationHolder.animation.CrossFade("M1911Run", 0.5f);
6.             CameraAnimationHolder.animation["Camera Run 1"].speed = VelocityMagnitude / RunSpeed;
7.             CameraAnimationHolder.animation.CrossFade("Camera Run 1", 0.5f);
8.         }
9.         else if (walkingState == WalkingState.Walking && VelocityMagnitude < 5.5f || VelocityMagnitude > 3.5f)
10.         {
11.             WalkAnimationHolder.animation["M1911Walk"].speed = VelocityMagnitude / WalkSpeed;
12.             WalkAnimationHolder.animation.CrossFade("M1911Walk",0.5f);
13.             CameraAnimationHolder.animation["Camera Walk 1"].speed = VelocityMagnitude / WalkSpeed;
14.             CameraAnimationHolder.animation.CrossFade("Camera Walk 1", 0.5f);
15.  
16.         }
17.         else
18.         {
19.             WalkAnimationHolder.animation.CrossFade("M1911Idle",0.2f);
20.             CameraAnimationHolder.animation.CrossFade("Camera Idle 1", 0.5f);
21.         }
22.  
23. //Recoil animations
24. if (walkingState != WalkingState.Running) {
25.                                         if (shootime <= 0 && !RecoilHolder.animation.isPlaying) {
26.                                                 CurrentRotation = Quaternion.Slerp (CurrentRotation, CurrentWeapon.Recoil, Time.deltaTime);
27.                                                 CamRotation = Quaternion.Slerp (CamRotation, NextCamRotation, 2 * Time.deltaTime);
28.                                                 CurrentPosition = Vector3.Lerp (CurrentPosition, CurrentWeapon.RecoilKick, Time.deltaTime);
29.                                                 RecoilHolder.animation.Play("M1911Recoil");
30.                                                 //CamRotation = CamRotation * new Quaternion(-1, 0, 0, 0);
31.                                                 shootime = 1;
32.                                         }
33.                                         shootime -= Time.deltaTime * CurrentWeapon.firerate;
34.                                         //CurrentRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(CurrentRotation, NextRotation, 0.35f);
35.                                         //CurrentPosition = Vector3.Lerp(CurrentPosition, NextPosition, 0.15f);
36.                                 }
