Well it depends what type of fps its going to be. If your having any sort of multiplayer capabilities (which i dont suggest for your first fps) then you will need to have a charachter model and u can attach the gun to the right limb. Other wise it can be locked to the screen, You could position your guns at random locations with the position object obj#,rnd(#),rnd(#),rnd(#) but then they might go off your map so it will require a bit of code to check if it is within the maps area. The best method is to design a spawn system which will allow you to set spawn points on each of your maps and then the weapons will appear in the right places.

i doubt that youll get free code on weapon spawning, but there are really generous ppl here. as for locking guns on the screen, position the gun where you want it, rotate it to get it to face away from you, then use the lock object command. heres some code from my game that you can use (note you may need to change the positions and scaling sizes for your guns as this isnt a standard way of doing it, and the gun is clipped for some reason and im trying to fix it):

If the part of the gun near the camera is clipped you will want to make sure the gun is angle more away from your camera or set your camera's near range to like .1 with set camera range .1, 5000 or whatever.
