I've seen a number of questions related to this topic, so I thought that such a FAQ is welcome.

What is an armoury_entity ? armoury_entity is the weapons that is spawned on the ground (like in fy_snow). This does not include the dropped weapons which are weaponboxes. If you pickup an armoury_entity and drop, it will be no longer an armoury_entity, but an weaponbox ent. An armoury_entity can hold more than one weapon.

Before you begin you need to know the armoury_entity indexs, this is what you will use.

enum
{
	ARM_MP5, //0
	ARM_TMP,
	ARM_P90,
	ARM_MAC10,
	ARM_AK47,
	ARM_SG552,
	ARM_M4A1,
	ARM_AUG,
	ARM_SCOUT,
	ARM_G3SG1,
	ARM_AWP,
	ARM_M3,
	ARM_XM1014,
	ARM_M249,
	ARM_FLASHBANG,
	ARM_HEGRENADE,
	ARM_KEVLAR,
	ARM_ASSAULT,
	ARM_SMOKEGRENADE //18
}

You can name them whatever you want, but I choosed ARM_WPNNAME. The first one is 0 and the last one is 18.

The models for armoury_entity:

"models/w_mp5.mdl",       
"models/w_tmp.mdl",        
"models/w_p90.mdl",    
"models/w_mac10.mdl",       
"models/w_ak47.mdl",       
"models/w_sg552.mdl",       
"models/w_m4a1.mdl",       
"models/w_aug.mdl",        
"models/w_scout.mdl",      
"models/w_g3sg1.mdl",      
"models/w_awp.mdl",         
"models/w_m3.mdl",          
"models/w_xm1014.mdl",    
"models/w_m249.mdl",        
"models/w_flashbang.mdl",   
"models/w_hegrenade.mdl",  
"models/w_kevlar.mdl",
"models/w_assault.mdl",     
"models/w_smokegrenade.mdl"

Note that you can't have armoury_entity with c4, knife, pistols, famas and galil.

Some offset that we will use:

const XO_CArmoury = 4 //diff windows/linux
const m_iType = 34 // armoury_entity index( see above enum )
const m_iCount = 35// hold the number of weapons that the armoury_entity will have 

Ok, let's begin:

1.Hook touch with an armoury_entity:

#include <hamsandwich>
#include <cstrike>

//Hook as pre
RegisterHam(Ham_Touch, "armoury_entity", "CBaseEntity_Touch", false)

public CBaseEntity_Touch( iTouched, iToucher )
{
        //iTouched is the armoury_entity that is touched
        //iToucher is the entity index that touch the armoury_entity. It is not 100% a player, you need to check it's classname or use engine's register_touch with allow you to specify the toucher class too.
    new armouryIndex = cs_get_armoury_type(iTouched)
        //If you need to block return HAM_SUPERCEDE
        //If you need to block just for one weapon check if armouryIndex is what you want and supercede
       //cs_get_armoury_type return CSW_ indexs and not the one from the above list.
}

2.Create an armoury entity:

enum
{
    ARM_MP5, //0
    ARM_TMP,
    ARM_P90,
    ARM_MAC10,
    ARM_AK47,
    ARM_SG552,
    ARM_M4A1,
    ARM_AUG,
    ARM_SCOUT,
    ARM_G3SG1,
    ARM_AWP,
    ARM_M3,
    ARM_XM1014,
    ARM_M249,
    ARM_FLASHBANG,
    ARM_HEGRENADE,
    ARM_KEVLAR,
    ARM_ASSAULT,
    ARM_SMOKEGRENADE //18
}

stock CreateArmouryEntity( itemType, itemCount, Float: fOrigin[ ] )
{
    new armouryEnt = create_entity("armoury_entity")
    if(!armouryEnt)
    {
        return -1
    }
    
    if(itemType < ARM_MP5 || itemType > ARM_SMOKEGRENADE)
    {
        return -1
    }
    
    set_pev(armouryEnt, pev_origin, fOrigin)
    set_pdata_int(armouryEnt, m_iType, itemType, XO_CArmoury)
    set_pdata_int(armouryEnt, m_iCount, itemCount, XO_CArmoury)
    dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn, armouryEnt)
    return armouryEnt
}

itemType is the index from the above enum( ARM_ )
itemCount is the number of the weapons that the armoury entity will hold.
fOrigin is the origin where the armoury_entity will be spawned.
The stock above will return -1 on failure/ the armoury index otherwise.

3.Remove all armoury_entity from the map:

new armouryEnt = -1
while((armouryEnt = find_ent_by_class(armouryEnt, "armoury_entity"))
{
    remove_entity(armouryEnt)
}

I'm waiting for suggestion and comments.
