That would also depend what kind of weapons we are talking about. For the majority of small arms, the government contracts private companies to develop new ones. Pretty much every small arm in use in the Armed Forces has been developed this way (think back to the M1903 to current times like the HK 416). If thats his interest, I recommend a degree in Mech. Eng. and then working in R and D for a firm that gets a lot of govt. contracts (HK, Colt, Smith and Wesson…).

We all know that his interests will be quite different by the time he goes off to college :)
