Do you not think it important to learn the engine first before taking on such a task?

Your question is very unclear. Weapon programming? Do you mean setting up a weapon on your camera, as seen in most FPSs? Raycasting to judge bullet hits?

i m not that much a beginner .. i know a bit about the engine and have been programming in it since a few months now .....

and yes, by weapon programming i meant ray casting and then collision detection on the wall of the map, so that the bullet may stop there and create some smoke effect .....

The Irrlicht 'Demo' that comes with the SDK has examples of ray tracing and smoke on walls. (also see tutorial 7 for scenenode picking & collision)

If you want a weapon manager, sort of like Quake that changes weapons when you roll the mouse wheel, then IrrWizard has one, you can have a look at the code to see if will be of any use.
