If you want to allow the character change their weapon independently of the server, I suggest you using RemoteEvents:

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Remote-Functions-and-Events

RemoteEvents allow you to execute functions from the LocalPlayer to the server (and viceversa). You could make a function where the players creates a local weapon and welds It to their arm, and then fires a RemoteEvent to the server which sends another event to every client (except the one who requested It) and call that exact function to every player.

You have to use RemoteEvents to access the server from a local script..
