So, being new to this whole game development thing (Small scale databases are where most of my experience lies), and an intermediate 3d artist (art school + computer science degree), I have no idea how to do most of this stuff. My flat mates and I all own a small studio, mostly for music and imaging, never before for games, so this is a large endevour for us. Anyway, what do you do in milkshape to place where a gun is mounted?

Assuming you're making a player model: while you're building your skeleton, make a joint on the hand where you want to mount the gun. Sometimes you have to play with it to get it looking right from 1st/3rd person perspective. Make sure you label the mount respectively, by renaming it. Do the same for the gun.

Any particular naming convention that I should be aware of?

Yes, many. I think the best suggestion is to check out the Artist section and in particular the exporters and the various options available for shapes. # of Nodes, names, etc...are covered. www.garagegames.com/mg/projects/torque1/artist.php
