This would be handy for me..(having a Wspec).. I'm working on something
"different" and it would be good to have a way to provide more detail about the
status/actions/effects of particular weapons.  Is it loaded? Running low
on ammo? Is it overheating? Is it holstered or drawn?  More detail about
the status of weapons is necessary for the type of MUD I'm developing..

Will have to think about this more.
