Sorry if this has been covered before or elsewhere, I just havent had the time to rummage through all of the great posts on here just yet.
The idea I was thinking of consists of a new module called " Weapon storage module "
This would act similar to Item storage modules but only allow you to store weapons inside the droid, you would be able to put or give the droid any weapons you are able to find, make oruse yourself. when weapons are stored into the droid, the droid would then have the option to call upon the weapon for combat. A few rules would need to come into play like :
( 1 ) A droid "weapon program Chip" would need to be fitted to the droid, this would dictate the range of weapons the droid would be able to use. The amount of droid program chips would be limited to droid types or just one per droid.
( 2 ) Weapon storage module would be like Item storage, the higher the level the more weapons can be added up to a max of 10. Levels ranging from 1-6.
( 3 ) Weapons may be added and removed from the storage the same as items would be.
( 4 ) You would be able to fill the module with 1 type of the same weapon or have a mixture, up to the storage space limit and the types listed in the weapon program chip , that would be fitted.
( 5 ) These options should only be available to Bipedal droids, droids with the same apendages as other biological species that are able to hold and use weapons.

Not sure if you know it or not, but this already exists.
Put an item (weapon) on a hotkey. Then put it in a Droids Storage compartment. In a fight, hit the Hotkey, twice. The first time puts it in your inventory, the second time equips it.

Ahh right I see what you mean there, yes Iagree, altho never used this way before
.
.But what I'm suggesting is that the droid has a special weapon's storage module, that allows you to give the droid weapons, so that it can equip and use them in combat itself. The combat program would dictate which type of weapons could be used by that droid and the storage module would dictate how many weapons could be given to it.

Well I should imagine everyone's campaigned for the Battledroids and Dekkas', me included, but this option would expand on current Bi-pedal droids and make them a lot more appealing and useful as most of them do not have many gadget options even in advanced form.
Back to the Dekkas and Battledroids, im not sure if we will see these technological terrors for some time to come and when and if we finally do, again are they going to be limited to one or 2 types of weapons and those Dekkas do need the shield gens options too.
