Title: @ in weapons.tbl names

Does it serve a purpose in the $name field?

I don't think it technically "serves a purpose", but I don't think the weapon will function without it. Just a guess.

I really have no idea what that is for; some weapons have it while others do not (game does not show it), and they work exactly the same way without it.

// AL 28-3-98: If this is a demo build, we only want to parse weapons that are preceded with
//             the '@' symbol

Let me take a random stab at the translation of that comment... Basically the full weapons table was included in the demo... but only those weapons were active?

I think the @ may have been a later addition. For when they wanted to build updated demos to put online. :)
