Sorry for the stupid question, I read the rules I just want to make sure I am clear. When i am making a ranged attack with a model that is equipped with muiltiple weapons, I can use all or as many of those weapons as i want to attack with?

Example:

I am starting my shooting phase with my Invictor Tactical Warsuit. I am firing into a single group of 20 necron warriors. My Invictor is equipped with: Grenande launcher, heavy bolter, incendium cannon, and ironhail stubber for its ranged weapons. I can use all of those weapons combined to fire into that single squad of Necron Warriors? Or since its only a single unit of necron warriors I have to pick one weapon for that unit but then I can allocate another weapon at the same time to fire into another enemy unit? Thanks for your help.

You can declare separate targets for each weapon, but that's done before dice are rolled. From the rules PDF:

For example: James selects a squad of Chaos Space Marines
to shoot with. The unit has ten models: one is equipped with a
lascannon, one with a meltagun and eight with boltguns. When
the unit is selected to shoot, James splits their attacks as follows:
the lascannon targets an enemy vehicle unit, while the meltagun
and all the boltguns target an enemy infantry unit. All the
weapons are in range of their respective units and both targets
are visible to all firing models. James resolves the attacks against
the infantry unit first, beginning by choosing to shoot with
the boltguns. After all the boltgun attacks have been resolved,
James then resolves the meltagun attack. Having resolved all
the attacks against the infantry unit, James can then resolve the
lascannon attack against the vehicle unit.

Thank you. Just to be clear, If I want I can literally use all of those weapons attacks on the one squad of Necron Warriors? Sorry as a new player it just seems crazy powerful to me which is why im trying to make sure.

For the most part yes.

Exceptions exist for pistols and grenades, But most of the time, shoot em if you got em.

Yea I understand the rules for pistols/grenades etc. Just wanted to be clear on the using multiple weapons on one group of targets. Thanks

In ye olde times there were restrictions on how many guns you could shoot based on things like how fast you moved, the type and strength of the weapon, and what edition it was, and where the target was in relation to where/how the gun was mounted.

These days it’s death blossom maximum firepower.

Spoiler:
Nice reference!

It's definitely shoot every weapon your model is armed with unless something restricts that.
