        @brief
            The a WeaponSlot defines where a @ref orxonox::Weapon "Weapon" is placed on a pawn. (A WeaponSlot is a StaticEntity)
            In a WeaponSlot there can be only one "Weapon", but a Weapon can have several @ref orxonox::WeaponMode "WeaponModes".
            A WeaponMode is what one intuitively imagines as weapon. (E.g. RocketFire, LightningGun, LaserFire are weaponmodes)

            A WeaponSlot is created in XML (in a weaponsettings file), which can be done in the following fashion:
            @code
            <weaponslots>
              <WeaponSlot position="-15.0,-1.5,0" />
              <WeaponSlot position=" 15.0,-1.5,0" />
              <WeaponSlot position="    0,   0,0" />
            </weaponslots>
