exports['redutzu-mdt']:RegisterWeapon({
  label = 'Pistol',
  name = 'weapon_pistol', -- this must be the same as in your GetWeapons function
  serial = serialNumber, -- you can generate your own serial number but it must be unique
  identifier = 'license:1234567890', -- owner identifier (QBCore: citizenid, ESX/Standalone: Identifier)
