Use class hierarchy…

Weapon (main weapon class - Parent)
– Assault Rifles ( child class of weapon )
– Pistols ( child class of weapon )
– Shotguns ( child class of weapon )

AK47 ( Child of Assault Rifles )
Scar-L ( Child of Assault Rifles )

M1911 ( Child of Pistols )
Berretta 92 ( Child of Pistols )

  • All universal code, variables etc should be written in the Weapon class.
  • Configuring the weapon should happen in the specific weapon class (ak47, m1911 etc).
  • Cast to Weapon class instead of specific actor class.
  • Variable references should be saved as Weapon Obj Reference.
