Notes from before the conversion: To ensure that the weapon is loaded at the start of the mission, add at least one magazine (addMagazine) before adding the weapon. To remove weapons use the removeAllWeapons or the removeWeapon commands.

When adding a weapon in-game, a bug means that sometimes the weapon can't be fired. Swap to a different weapon and swap back again to enable the newly added weapon to fire; or drop and pick up the weapon again.
