Instead of calling player.remove_item({name = "pistol", count = 1}), you should read up on the Factorio Lua API, specifically the get_inventory method. You could, instead, do a player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.character_guns).remove_item("pistol") to remove all pistols from the player's weapon's slots (since they start there) and likewise player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.character_ammo).remove_item("firearm-magazine").

TL;DR - don't vibe code. Actually try to do it yourself and use "AI" as a tool to help you out.

If I wanted to do it myself, I would do it myself, but I am not a coder and I don't want to learn LUA just to do a small mod for me and my friend during our playthrough, I just decided to ethically share it with others who might find this useful as we did

Glad you're at least up front about it being AI generated. Big kudos for that. Too many people try to act like they didn't use AI.

Sorry if I came off a bit harsh out of the gate. What I was trying to say is that the AI, with some extra guidance, could have produced a much better mod.

Either way, thank you for sharing and being transparent about it being AI generated!

Well, I too reacted a bit harsh tbh. Thank you for your advice anyway! If I am up to do mods again, at least I will feed the AI with docs lol, so it could do a much more proper job then
