Just insert in a first person controller. Attach your firearm prefab to the main camera.

Assuming:

  • Top down view
  • Camera parallel to the XZ plane
  • Model built so that ‘forward’ is facing positive ‘Z’ when rotation is (0,0,0)

Something like this will work:

#pragma strict 
 
function Update() {
	var pos = Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, Camera.main.transform.position.y - transform.position.y);
	pos = camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(pos);
	var aimingDirection = pos - transform.position;
	transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(aimingDirection);
}
