        This tutorial will show you a very simple way to make your .weapon tags easier to work with. This will help out those who are just getting into modding. This also prevents you from messing up your original tags. I learned this the hard way but now you won't have to.
---------------------------------------

First navigate to your halo ce root directory, for example mine is 
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition" You can do this in guerilla but I like this better. Now go into your tags folder and then the weapons folder and then open up whatever weapon folder you want. Now in the weapons folder find the .weapon tag of that weapon.

Right click the .weapon tag and select copy. Then right click and select paste. Now a Copy of the .weapon tag will show. Now right click the copy and rename it. Like for example if I copied the rocket launcher.weapon i would rename the copy to rocket launcher(2).weapon

Now you are all good to go, you can make changes to the copy and renamed .weapon without affecting your original weapon tag. You would then take this edited .weapon and make it into an .item_collection tag.

Keep track of any changes you make though, just in case.

I hope this helps
