if SelectWeapon(0) is destroyed, doesn't SelectWeapon(1) automaticly change to SelectWeapon(0)?

This part it total FUBAR:

else if (gameObject.Destroy(gameObject);
     SelectWeapon(1);
}

The else doesn't make much sense here
Destroy is a function that destroys the object and it has no return value that can be compared, so it's comletely wrong inside an if statement
the if statement doesn't have a closing bracket
no semicolon after an if statement
you have a closing curly bracket but no opening

Beside those "little" errors if one of the weapons is gone the index of the second weapon will change since the old index-0 is gone.

There's no good way to detect if an object has been destroyed since it's gone. You should keep a seperate list of your weapons. These references turn null if the object has been destroyed.
