How do I make a weapon face the same direction as character

Ok so I have the character's weapon mirrored when he turns left but the image just flips and it stays to the right of the character. I want it to move to the front of the character and also mirrored.

Are you attaching the weapon to an image point?

Instead of using mirror make a copy of the sprite and reverse it and put the image point where you want the weapon to be attached.

You can also make more than one image point.
