How to spawn weapons?

[apljee]

Wondering if it's possible to 'spawn in' weapons. I need to test some weapons for my mod, but I am unsure as of how to get them, because no weapon ships have passed and raiders don't carry my weapons. (Only handguns and stones.) Is there a way to spawn items in?

Now start a new game and activate God mode, then attempt to spawn your gun into the game, make your colonist pick the weapon up and try firing with it at a wall!

According to the gun modding tutorial available on the wiki here. As for how you spawn them in in god mode, i'm not entirely sure.

Go to options in game, then select Development mode so that it has a green tick to the right of it. In the right hand side of the window will appear 5 little buttons. When you have started a colony, click the left most button, go to spawn weapon at the bottom right hand side of the pop out window, and find your weapon of choice
