So I am trying to be able to make a variety of guns but this problem is stopping me, I do not know how to make a pattern like this with holes. (I use blender 2.79b by the way)

You can attempt using booleans to recreate a similar pattern.

You can also use the knife tool, shortcut is K on blender

U can make 3 loop cuts on the tube and since there would already be horizontal edges there, u can select the faces u want to make the pattern. Then inset them (CTRL+I) and scale it towards the center.
Thats it.

thanks man, now i can make more guns
but im wondering how do i make them symmetrical
Symmetry? Im pretty sure the symmetry would stay equal if u did exactly what i said. select all the faces u wanna modify, and inset then scale them. nothing else changes other than the ones u seleced and they will stay symmetrical
also remember, play around with it a lot and u might get what u wanted. (Happens a lot of time when Im in some unknown situation)
Math
Find how much space you want to go in-between. Let’s say you’re at 0 on the x-axis. The indents you want to make are 3. The space you want to have between each indent is 2.
Your indents (going to the right) would be 0-3, 5-8, 10-13.
The part that isn’t indented would be at 3-5, 8-10.
