Well I am REALLY crappy, and just use MS Paint.

So, my advice probably sucks. I would copy part of the gun to paste back on top of the new face.
1) copy (not cut) and set aside part of the gun's top
2) set that aside for later
3) insert new face
4) put part of gun back on top of new face

The most basic way:

use the lasso tool & trace a line around a gun (you only need the part that overlaps the face)

Copy, make a new layer, then paste on the new layer

Place new head as desired, then move the layer with the pistol section to the top.


There are lots of little techniques to actually make it look real (I'd show you but I cant host photos) like a touch of feathering, but most of them are better shown in person.
