To expand on the question, I want to find if same weapons are in the backpack (eg. two guns) and destroy all but one of them. Example of destroying a weapon (but doesn't detect if there are two or more of the same weapons in the Backpack/Startergear):
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("M4A4")
player.Backpack.M4A4:Destroy();
end
You first would need to get all of the children, then check for duplicates or store them in a list e.g.
local tmpTable = {} -- store items names
for I,v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do -- loop through all items found
if tmpTable [v.Name] ~= nil then -- checks if item exists in the list
print("a duplicate has been found") -- found item e.g. a duplicate
v:Destroy() -- deletes tool
else
tmpTable [v.Name] = "a" -- we don't need to use the value we are only using the key
print("item added to list")
end
end
The code above is just an example, I have not tested this in studio.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! Just a note for anyone using the script, it remove the weapon after death (for me at least)
Forgot to add but this script realys of the tool name being different so if there a two tools with the same name but each tool is different then one will be deleted.
