If you ignore the code section at the beginning of the C++ Shooter tutorial, there is an Blueprint animation explanation at the bottom:

You may want to look into that C++ tutorial as an idea for how you would add a weapon with Blueprints as well.

Here is a video on adding a custom weapon to Shootergame (No code involved) as an example of how you would add your own to a new Character BP:

Also, there is already a discussion about custom weapons going on in thread: [[REQUEST] FPS Weapon System in Blueprints - Programming & Scripting - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?19895-REQUEST-FPS-Weapon-System-in-Blueprints&highlight=custom+weapon)

Let me know if any of helps or if you have any specific questions.
