@ 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.

it's there so you can ask questions. :D
It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

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. :)
