Right now, if you are holding a pistol in one hand and a sniper scope in another, it has the same effect as if the scope was attached to the pistol! Ditto for the laser scope.

This was part of the plan actually: To have them attachable to your helmet. What they could be attached to can be set in the Attachments.xml.

One solution is to make sure that you never have more than one such item active at any given moment. Another is to change the code so that even if you have more than one, only one will provide a benefit at any given moment. Which should it be?

I don't think this would be a good generic way to handle this. A modder might want to assign the same bonus twice to something. For instance, say a mod has some special ammo that is more aerodynamic and therefore gives a range bonus. Should that bonus be lost due to a barrel extender? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the mod.

In fact, now that I'm thinking about it, we could probably add an ItemUsage.xml file and provide an enumeration of the possible effects.
