Moreso than a triggeraction? Take a moment and think about that.

And besides, the only people that would know how to use the trigger would be staff.

Or clever trainer users. We don't need what happens on UN to happen on any other server.

Players uploading a playerhouse with a script to add weapons wouldn't know how, plus, any player levels should be inspected and approved before uploading in the first place.

Irrelevant. We're talking about the security of a weapon NPC. One would not need to have any other scripts uploaded to exploit the security flaw in that weapon.

Nearly every server has a system npc with an addweapon function on it, so don't even go there.

And nearly every server had an insecure Control-NPC triggeraction 'actionserverwarp' before we swept the servers and insisted they remove it. A lot of people doing a bad practice does not change the fact that it's a bad practice and insecure.
