I cannot explain why they are wrong. I think you have to learn the correct way to write correctly. Just take note of which are the correct sentences. Maybe another member is able to explain why your sentences are wrong.

I'm a bit confused.

In these examples, you arm a person by giving him or her a weapon. Then that person is armed.
The object of the verb is the person, not the weapon.
The object of the verb is the person, not the weapon.

This would only be correct in a very unusual situation - for example, in a science fiction novel - where a very untypical and cumbersomel type of gun has to be armed (made ready to fire) before it can be used. For example, a gun that shoots a single rocket as a projectile. The rocket must be put into the gun in a very tedious sequence of steps before the gun can
