Hi Developers! 
I was wondering how to save weapons in an optimized and fairly simple way? I mean these are Instances, and they’re too large to be efficiently saved I think. Would it be possible to make a table with names of every weapon player got and then somehow give them to player when he joins back?
I’d appreciate any help provided! 
Just save the names. This is a good reason to have the player-facing naming of things be separate from your internal names, so that you can change the player-facing ones without breaking anything. I have a vehicle building system that saves vehicles. It only saves the component name, what it was placed on, the relative position, and any per-component special info such as whether a hinge was locked or unlocked.
In your case special info could be ammo or list of available attachments. Each weapon should have a function that saves/loads its particular special info. This is good interface separation.
Thank you a lot for advice! I hope I’ll figure out how to code all that stuff with my dumb brain…
