CIT fix
Number keys do not switch my weapon on CIT
You press your weapon key and your character does not switch to that weapon. Check that Enable Weapon Binds is set to Yes in /settings.
Steps
Turn on weapon binds
Type /settings, go to General > WEAPONS SETTINGS and set Enable Weapon Binds to Yes. It lets you pick weapons with the slot keys under Weapon Binds in the Binds tab.

Check your slot keys
Type /sbinds, or open /settings and the Binds tab, and look under Weapon Binds. Each slot shows its keys in Key 1 and Key 2. These are default keys, so yours may be different.

Press the key again for the next slot
Only if a key gives you the wrong weapon.
Slots that share a key take turns when you press it. For example, Handguns and SMGs are separate slots, but both use 2 by default. Press the key again to go to the next slot.

Get ammo for the gun
Only if a firearm will not come out.
You need at least 1 ammo for the gun you switch to. Buy or craft ammo for it.
