First of all create a folder in your addons folder with no spaces, instead use underscore (_). In that folder create the following folders: lua, materials, models, sound. Now you need to get a gun skin. You can get them from gamebanana.com/skins (Only HL2 and CSS skins work) or garrysmods.org always add credit by including the link in description. Add a folder called weapons in models. Now once you get the skins add them to your weapons (in models) folder. Create a weapons folder in all other folders. In lua\weapons make a file (Open notepad, make a note for the beginning (like this "--Type stuff here") the same click save as, direct to lua\weapons and save it as shared.lua).
