Zeraph, much depends on what type of weapons system you're interested in. I have several friends in "the Industry," all with different degrees. One is a high level physicist who designs nuclear warheads. He has a doctoral degree in Physics from MIT. Another worked with GM's Tank division in research on the Abrams tank. He, as many others have recommended, has an Mech Engineering degree from West Point. A third has an EE degree from Stanford and worked with ITT on the Gen 3 nightvision goggles.
But if you're talking about shoulder-born weapons, say for instance like the Stoner, or the Kalashnikov, or the Barrett, then a good place to start would be an advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering with some practical skills in machining. Just my two cents.
