Check the "loop" tickbox when you upload it so that it continues forever. You can check that it does this by looking at the preview in the upload box.

Hey gray, so you're just gonna do this yourself, huh?
I wouldn't just check Loop and leave it as is. It'll play the entire animation over and over. What you should do is set the In percentage high so that it'll freeze on the last frame.

It depends how you've composed the animation, really. If it's just two frames i.e. a pose, you can loop (that's what I normally do). If it's a whole motion and you want to freeze it at the end, Johan's suggestion is what you want.

Personally, I would actually recommend separate pose and firing animations. You can activate the pose as soon as the person attaches the gun, and that just loops. Then have the firing animation only play through once whenever the gun is fired.
