"anim_loop_bullet_fire" - float - Time in aimed firing animation when weapon should be fired (Must be between Start and End)
"anim2_loop_start" - float - Start of non-aimed firing animation2 loop
"anim2_loop_stop" - float - End of non-aimed firing animation2 loop (Reduce to increase crouch firing rate)
"anim2_loop_bullet_fire" - float - Time in non-aimed firing animation2 when weapon should be fired (Must be between Start and End)

"skill_level" - int
"required_skill_level" - int

"radius" - float - Area effect (e.g. flame thrower) only
"life_span" - float - Time taken for shot to dissipate
"spread" - float - Angle inside which shots are created
"fire_offset" - vector - Offset from weapon origin to projectile starting point

"default_combo" - int - Base combo for this melee weapon
"combos_available" - int - How many further combos are available

On success:

int: The weapon property

On failure:

bool: False if the passed arguments were invalid

This example gets the weapon range of the M4 at poor skill level

local range = getWeaponProperty(31, "poor", "weapon_range")
outputChatBox("M4 range at poor is: "..tostring(range))
