So my Question is:

Who are other enemys/dangers for the gremlins (so except the Spiral knights...)
I mean they had already all these weapons etc before we crashed...
Did they attacked Strangers?
What did these strangers do except seeling us things... i mean they had a life before we crashed too

You should probably send

You should probably send these sorts of questions to Spiral Knights Support if you want to have any hope of an official response.

The Gremlins probably had those weapons for the same reason the US kept its massive military around after World War II; paranoia. As for what they were paranoid of, consider the jabbering the speaker in the Sanctuary does about the "pact" and how it's imprisoned by the Clockworks. (Yes, the speaker is the Core.)

Strangers don't really have a role in my opinion; they're more lore dispensers than anything else.

Themselves. I mean look at emberlight, Herex and Seerus. As if humans never fight with each other :P

It's also safe to assume they had to be prepared in case something came (and we did X_X)

erm, weapons? practially they are fighting with their working tools. wrench wands and such.
healer are there for when they are hurt and there's nothing bad having a mecha knight guarding you back. what juances said.

@Thunder

I think he means the Roarmulous Twins, the huge room full of missiles and bombs in Crimson Hammer, etc. etc.

It's simple. Gremlin Demos :

It's simple.

Gremlin Demos : Gremlin Demolitionists for taking down old gremlin buildings

Gremlin Scorchers : Gremlin Welders, welding metal for the clockworks and buildings

Gremlin Thwackers : Gremlin Builders, working in the clockworks

Gremlin Menders : Gremlin Doctors

Then you have the Crimson Order, the personal henchmen of the King. There is obvious in-fighting among them, so they developed weapons meant for each other. I'm guessing there was quite a large gap of time between the arrival of the knights and the roarmulous twins, so the knights arrived, the gremlins discovered them, developed weaponry and the twins to prepare for the knights, etc. Razwog is still a big hole in the plot though, as we don't know who he is or what role he plays beyond being a gremlin engineer.

So what weaponry they have are either their tools, or weapons they developed for each other/other factions and for us when they learned of our arrival.

OCH is the fortress of seerus, the guy who wanted to kill all gremlins with DR. it's pretty obvious he had weapons.
the RT were specifically meant for us.

AVANTI!

@Magnicth I think Razwog may be a member of the Crimson Order, or a lackey of one, even despite the lack of a C.O. sign.

They have battle trains

They have battle trains too...
http://kepfeltoltes.hu/130731/dfdffas_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

Probably they are using them against:
-traitors of the king
-swarm infested monsters (there could be quite lot of them in infested areas)
-armies of Firestorm citadel (or at least to keep them at control)
-space invaders like us
