i don't know what is bad.

function gibvebonus ( player, command ) 
    if getElementByType ( players ) == 'player' then 
    local bonus = math.random ( player ) 
    giveWeapon ( player, 38, 9999 ) 
    outputChatBox("* ".. getPlayerName(player) .." have bonus weapon") 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "playerbonus", givebonus  )

Use getRandomPlayer to get a random player.

And your code doesn't make much sense.

Is it good?

function gibvebonus ( player, command ) 
local randomPlayer = getRandomPlayer ( ) 
    giveWeapon ( randomPlayer, 38, 9999 ) 
    outputChatBox("* ".. getPlayerName(randomPlayer) .." have bonus weapon") 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "bonus", givebonus  ) 

i won't t test it because am on phone ty.

Yes, should work.

And you have a little mistake, as the event handler is attached to a function which doesn't exist.

Change the givebonus with gibvebonus.

If you want to use in client side you can use:

local player = getElementsByType("player") 
local randomPlayer = player[math.random(1, #player)]
