Be more specific:

1) Do you want it to actually shoot a projectile that can hit something, or are you just trying to get it to kick back and make a noise?

2) What do you mean by like an ak-47?

In your userMANUAL there is a very good explination on how to make at firstperson shooter. Look in your tutorial folder, in the darkbasic folder.

To make your gun be position in the bottum of the screen, use the lock on object 1

`load gun
load object "gun.x",1
yrotate object 1,90
scale object 1,50,50,50
position object 1,0,-7,15
lock object on 1

Yrotate, will rotate the object along the y-axe. In my example, I have rotated it 90 degrees. It may not be needed, if you object, face the direction it should.

Scale object, scales the object a given times. By this command, you can easely control the size of your object.

wll by far the easiest way, (i do this) is to position the gun in your 3d modeling program so it faces at the right agle rotation and everything, so all you have to do it position the gun at the cameras position & angle, then you can make all the guns the same withought having to rotate and scale them differently
