Still, I think interesting weapons with an old model is more useful than the same weapons with new models.
Of course there could be a section for just the weapon models like how there's a repository of user-made ships, but plenty aren't really statted all that much

as both z64555 and Black Wolf say this is a new page under development

One of the initial reasons for the page's existence was to showcase the weapon models. As AdmiralRalwood pointed out, primaries can have models, and also some folk will appreciate the .tbl entry for some interesting bullet/bolt effects.
Similar and/or upgraded versions of weapons could possibly be grouped together. Perhaps have the basic weapon a full tech/description entry, and include a table comparing the similar weapons power, firing speed, etc.

This is supposed to be a modding resource right? If that's the case, models shouldn't be the only/main consideration.

That was my thought as well, though a more click heavy alternative would be to link to any pages other, similar weapons have.

The page has tags for Custom Model, Custom Tech Model and Custom Effect.
Also I have an issue with the alignment in the Icon Key as shown in the attachment.
