I would also like to know this as i'm having trouble making one at the moment. I've looked at the Arma 2 samples and couldn't figure it out and there isn't a static in the arma 3 ones.

In terms of model its very similar to a vehicle 

 

LODS are pretty much the same except no need for Phsyx LOD

Needs a model config with animations 

 

Config terms:

Again very similar to a vehicle, get an all in one config and see how BIS do it. 

 

Then once you reach a specific issue then you can post on the forums. There aren't many guides for modding in arma, people are especially reluctant to sit down and talk someone through the process. Do what everyone else has done, try to figure out how BIS did it, try to replicate their work using the stuff you've made. 

 

You can also look at the public source files for the RDS static weapons pack : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24909

I'll have a look over the pack tomorrow. Out of interest, is there a script command to get a more "friendly" looking version of the games config files as I don't like the format in game, I much prefer something I can look at in notepad.

Your best bet for nice looking configs is to actually depbo the pbo, then look at the config file through that.. If its a BIS config you are after then i recommend finding an all in one config such as this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t2ter203arnfzw2/AiO.1.72.142164.zip?dl=0

It crashes Object Builder, when I open the p3ds.

Have you tried redownloading the entire package to make sure it wasn't corrupt?
