   Notice how the weapons numbers are like TV channels, and start at 2? 
Number 1 is the weapon you revert to when you run out of ammunition in
everything else.  At the beginning of the game this is your fist, but 
once you grab the chainsaw it takes over this place.

   Number 4 on the weapons board is for a chaingun which fires the same
bullets as the pistol, at a much faster rate.
