probably should have tested that out before posting.  that doesn't 
work.  how do you set a weapon to an impulse?
i thought weapon2 would be impulse2.  there doesn't seem to be a way to 
get to the grabber it's bound as a toggle with the fists.  So setting it 
to toggle just confuses things, trying the above almost none of my 
weapon binds worked.
So don't try what I wrote.
