First you have to do is to create a weapon model in milkshape and export it to cmp.
How this weapon model looks like is up to you.
Now you have this cmp its time to add some hardpoints.
Weapons only really use 3 hardpoints, HpMount & HpConnect get assigned to the Root, while HpFire01 gets assigned to the barrel(yes folks, no more of this 'just stuff it on the root' nonsense). HpMount is used if you want to have it show up on a cart in the equipment dealers, HpConnect to allow it to attach to the weapon hardpoint on a ship(very important ), and HpFire01 is where you shoot from, you can have more than one HpFire, just remember that in FL you only get weapon sounds on guns with one HpFire.
Now you can use this weapon.
