Ok i have the answers you are looking for.....
First: A link to the awtips topic with maps of the game in english.......dont know how updated they are but it is basic maps or game...
http://www.awtips.com/viewtopic.php?t=9250 .....
Second: Guns in aw.....the guns in aw are for pking reasons....you start with the pistol and work your way up....you up your automatic weapons or medievil weapons(short bow, member bow, or crossbows) lvls just like training but you have your gun equiped rather then your sword, pole, shield, or axe or so on. so i think i answered your questions...cant make guns only buy or get from a NPC or a player drop.
and some guns you can use without having member but once you get past the rifle you will need members....FG42 and up you will need members
