there are 8 weapon categories.
each weapon from every category consists of 17 parts.
each of those parts can be one of about a dozen components.
you do the math . . .
(8^17^12 creates a ridiculously large number . . .
lets just say: you won't EVER in your whole life see all weapons possible in this game!)
The number generated by that many exponents is:
16,996,415,770,136,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
sixteen sexagintillion,
nine hundred ninety-six novemquinquagintillion,
four hundred fifteen octoquinquagintillion,
seven hundred seventy septenquinquagintillion,
one hundred thirty-six sexquinquagintillion,
five hundred quinquinquagintillion
Being that the number is difficult to wrap one's mind around, that's about 16,996 (deep breath) billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billion, billions of combinations... give or take a few
Keep in mind, the actual possible number is actually far far larger still since there are many components more in the game than are factored in to the equation, and thus combinations there-of. The caveat is that many won't function, others won't be worth messing with, and still more will be mediocre at the very best...

I've started a basic guide to making your own guns from scratch with the editor for anyone that wants it.
Link - A text file with the guide in.
PM me if you want to add anything and I'll update it.
