CreateWeapon
From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
Creates a custom weapon that can fire bullets. Do not confuse this with player held weapons.
| Tip: Some weapons (such as the minigun) visually point to a slightly different direction to where they fire. To adjust this, use setWeaponProperty with 'fire_rotation'. See the example below. |

This example adds a /createminigun command to create a weapon that is always firing.
function createMinigunWeapon()
-- Create the weapon 1 meter above the player
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer())
local weapon = createWeapon("minigun", x, y, z + 1)
-- Give it some ammo and fire it
setWeaponClipAmmo(weapon, 99999)
setWeaponState(weapon, "firing")
-- Optionally adjust for model rotation (this value will be different for other weapons)
setWeaponProperty(weapon, "fire_rotation", 0, -30, 0)
end
