Rather than simply using selectWeapon to select your default weapon after adding them to your player, it is recommended you use a script instead similar to the following, which caters for multiple muzzles:
SelectWeapon.sqf // Desc: select default weapon & handle multiple muzzles if (count weapons player > 0) then { private ['_type', '_muzzles']; _type = ((weapons player) select 0); // check for multiple muzzles (eg: GL) _muzzles = getArray (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _type >> "muzzles"); if (count _muzzles > 1) then { player selectWeapon (_muzzles select 0); } else { player selectWeapon _type; }; };

Can be used with primaryWeapon to select the primary weapon. An example with muzzle care (see Dr_EyeBall note) : if ((primaryWeapon player) != "") then { private ['_type', '_muzzles']; _type = primaryWeapon player; // check for multiple muzzles (eg: GL) _muzzles = getArray (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _type >> "muzzles"); if (count _muzzles > 1) then { player selectWeapon (_muzzles select 0); } else { player selectWeapon _type; }; };
