Description
Select given weapon.
Note: For weapons that have more than one muzzle, you have to input the muzzlename and not the weaponName.
The only weapons that have muzzlenames seem to be rifles with grenade launchers, handgrenades, smokeshells and satchels.
In all other cases the weaponName must be used.
Fortunately, in OFP, in most cases, both names are the same. But check.
In ArmA the weaponNames and muzzleNames are different.
For weaponName/muzzleName values see OFPWeapons or ArmAWeapons.
