Playing slowly isn't going to work. If you're not quick enough, the frame you want can still go by.
What you have to do is use the frame-by-frame feature (which you can bring up by going to "View" and then "Advanced Controls") to find the clearest shots of the weapons. Only problem is, it can sometimes cause VLC to freeze when playing DVDs (with Blu Rays, it sometimes causes a type of weird skip and image distortion).
It takes a good eye and some practice to master. Also remember that it's usually not a quick process. Sometimes, it can take several hours to screencap a movie. Right now, "The Hurt Locker" has taken me several days of on-and-off work.
