Original BI comref states:

''unit '''selectWeapon''' weapon''

Description states:

Selects the given weapon. For weapon values see CfgWeapons.

Example states:

''soldierOne '''selectWeapon''' "LAWLauncher"''

Perhaps "M136" would have been better.  ;)

==== Correct reading of a modes and muzzles weapon subclasses ====
I've idea about this code:

   if (count _muzzles > 1) then
   {
     player selectWeapon (_muzzles select 0);
   }
   else
   {
     player selectWeapon _type;
   };

And if we have such a config we get semantic error:

 class MySuperRifle : AK74 {
     // ...
     muzzles[] = {"MySuperRifleRealMuzzle"};
     class MySuperRifleRealMuzzle : AK74 {
         // ...
     };
 };

or such config:
  
 class MySuperRifle : AK74 {
     // ...
     muzzles[] = {"MySuperRifleRealMuzzle", "this"};
     class MySuperRifleRealMuzzle : AK74 {
         // ...
     };
 };

So we must check such condition: ((_muzzles select 0) != "this"), but not  the (count _muzzles > 1).

 private [
     "_weaponClassName", "_weaponConfig", "_muzzles",
     "_firstMuzzleName", "_realMuzzleName"
 ];
 _weaponClassName = primaryWeapon player;
 if (_weaponClassName != "") then {
     _weaponConfig = configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponClassName;
     _muzzles = getArray (_weaponConfig >> "muzzles");
     if (count _muzzles > 0) then {
         _firstMuzzleName = _muzzles select 0;
         _realMuzzleName = (
             if (_firstMuzzleName != "this") then {
                 _firstMuzzleName
             } else {
                 _weaponClassName
             }
         );
        player selectWeapon _realMuzzleName;
     };
 }

All of this is also true for reading "modes" subclasses
