Create and arrange weapon icons in an Unreal Engine 5 user widget using a horizontal box for pistol, rifle, and sniper icons, with background color changes prepared for weapon pickup.

Master blueprint binding to change the weapon pickup background color based on possession, using get pawn, cast to base character, and branch logic for default versus red states across weapons.

Update weapon info and ammo display in Unreal Engine 5 Blueprint UI by binding visibility to equipped weapons and showing pistol, rifle, and sniper icons with runtime ammo.

Arrange and organize blueprint nodes for GTA5 weapon systems, separating related wires, hiding unnecessary details, adding comments, and aligning connections to improve readability and future updates.
