PlayerSwitchWeapon

Details

When networking the newWeapon on the hook PlayerSwitchWeapon to the client, it can occur, when the hook only runs the serverside, the weapon does not get networked properly making the weapon nil.

That makes no proper hook for initializing stuff on weapons, besides on overriding hooks, like WEAPON:INITIALIZE.

Steps to reproduce

Run the hook.
Network weapon.

This is due to the weapon being seen late by the client. To my knowledge, this is core engine behaviour and can be worked-around by either waiting in a timer for the weapon to be valid, or initialize in the deploy method if the weapon has not done so yet (which is what I do in my base).

Already tried with a 1 second timer.
That did not work, the weapon entity was still invalid.

I already said, overwriting is bad for me, atleast.
