Description

Description:

Returns the given or currently selected weapon state for unit or vehicle. With syntax 2, if no optional arguments are present, currently selected weapon is queried.

Since Arma 3 v1.70 this command has been improved and extended:

• A vehicle's weapon query doesn't need a weapon operator provided the weapon or muzzle is specified in optional param.
  (keep in mind that by default a vehicle has no weapons selected)
• Driver turret can now be accessed as well with turret path [-1].
• Muzzle name is supported as well as weapon name. The command searches for weapon first, then if not found, muzzle is searched for.
