	NPC's are spawned with access to various weapon groups. These weapon groups are comprised of various weapon types of which are randomly selected for that particular npc. Stats on these weapons are also enhanced based on the difficulty level of the npc. The higher difficulty npcs have very high stat weapons. Most weapons that are available to players (except heavy weapons) are also made available to npc's within these weapon groupings. Npc's can switch between weapons such as ranged npcs going into melee combat or melee npcs going into ranged combat.		NPC's are spawned with access to various weapon groups.
