Where is the ventral guns, and rotary guns located??
Also, where is the missiles located, i heard every gun is internal?

they are huge, think about them more like B-2 bombers for internal weapons.

The guns are probably recessed in the nose or wing's leading edge. The missiles or other ordinance are probably carried in internal weapons bays to maintain aerodynamics and stealth.

U can clearly see the big bad bomb hatch on the belly of the craft

well be honest, they are clearly stealth aircraft...there is no denying it even though so many people keep arguing otherwise!

I knew that, calm down

Even if they aren't explicitly designed as stealth aircraft, keeping the missiles inside to reduce it's radar return would be favourable to not doing so, wouldn't it?

It would also keep the missles from exploding during re entry.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

And also keeps them protected from enemy-fire.

There's plenty of space inside, it is about 60 meters long, 50 meters wide and 10 meters tall (not counting the tail), it is damn HUGE.
Btw, it's first purpose might be a in-atmosphere stealth bomber, but no longer, now it is UNSC's strongest fighter/interceptor/bomber.

Yeah they're internal. The F-22 has all internal weapons. Even its 20mm Vulcan cannon is covered by a "trap door" when not in use. And as the F-22 is significantly smaller than the proposed Longsword, it's easy to imagine a similar, internal weapon configuration.
