Dang it! I shouldn't try to do stuff like this so early.
Okay, granny, I looked at your post again and realized I missed a slash. So if we count the non/slash rifles on the right as "0" place holders, we have:
10111010110 = 1494
If we break it up into binary "words", we could have:
10111010 110 = 186 6
or
101 11010110 = 5 214
17 rifles total, with 16 up and 1 down
The rifle at the bottom is pointing right - an indication to read this left to right?
Not sure of the significance of the slashes placed closer to the stocks of some of the weapons, but reading them as "1" nonetheless.
I'm not a programmers, so someone with a little more glibness in that area may want to pounce on this.

I was thinking the same thing. I gave it a try but decided to get another cup of coffee instead.
