Devs,

I love the manual prioritization ability on work priorities. Can we have a similar menu for weapons?

Say you have a sniper rifle, a survival rifle, and a bow in your colony. You have 4 colonists: a pacifists, a rank 15 shooter, a 10 shooter, and a 5 shooter. You could set Sniper Rifle to 1, Survival Rifle to 2, and Bow to 3. Then your rank 15 shooter will take the first weapon on the list (Sniper 1), a rank 10 the second weapon (Survival Rifle), and rank 5 the the third weapon (Bow).

It may need tweaking beyond that - like you need to select which colonists select melee and which select ranged - but it'd be a godsend to avoid micro-managing who takes what weapon whenever you find a new, better weapon to add to the arsenal.
