/*!
 * @file weapon_manager.h
 * every big WorldEntity has the ability to carry many different Weapons.
 * for this to be easy there is the WeaponManager, that handels these weapons,
 * and changes between them.
 *
 *
 *
 * @TODO 1. WeaponManager should also handle a List of availiableWeapons.
 * @TODO 2. Weapons should now Types the counteract to capabilities, so we know where we can put them on the ship.
