Weapons in Final Fantasy VIII aren't interchangeable, but specifically designed for each character. Initial weapons (weakest) are equipped by default. More powerful weapons require parts which are acquired from defeating and/or stealing them from enemies, or refining items. In addition, you must obtain magazines, located throughout the world, which contain weapon information in order to make them available as an upgrade.
