how to make a custom weapon system?

I know most people say to weld the model to the roblox characters right arm or something like that but can anyone point me to a decent example of how to accomplish a custom weapon system found in phantom forces, mad paintball and other games?

I have this script here that I wrote but it has lots of issues with it I was wondering if somebody could help
