Cant figure out how to make a pickup that swaps one game object for another.

So Ive hit a brick wall. I am trying to make a pickup item that is connected to a scriptable object and swaps my players gun holder for a prefab Game Object. The below code succesfully swaps the sprite of the gun_holder player object but I have no idea what code to use for an entire prefab, I was thinking GameObject.Find("gun_holder") = weapon but the collision2D doesn't like that. Any suggestions much appreciated. My hope for the final function is that it swaps weapons a la Castlevania subweapons while retaining the players ammo within the throw away pickup but I am trying to solve one problem at a time and I am new to Unity and C#. Here is my pickup script, the curretWeapon and Shoot(){ are called by a player controller that works fine:

 public class WeaponPickup : MonoBehaviour
 {
  public Weapon weapon;
 
  private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D target) 
  {
 
      if(target.tag == "Player") 
  //if player Colides with this tag (player) do the following 
      {  
 
        target.GetComponent<playerController>().currentWeapon = weapon;  
 //in the Player controller set the current weapon to weapon 
          target.transform.GetChild(2).GetChild(0).GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = weapon.weaponSprite; 
 
  //in the player object find child 2.0 sprite renderer's sprite replace current weapon sprite with this
 
          Destroy(gameObject); //Destroys picked up object
      }   
  }
 }

and here is the ScriptableObject Code that lets me create Weapon Assets (These both work btw, I dont know how to adapt them to swap entire prefabs):

 [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "WeaponManager", menuName = "Weapon")]
  //creaate asset menu for the Weapon asset 
 public class Weapon : ScriptableObject {
 
 
     public Sprite weaponSprite; 
  //select which sprite to use (I want this to be a prefab GameObject)
 
     public GameObject bulletPrefab; 
 // What bullet does it shoot (this could be part of the prefab)
 
     public float fireRate = 1f; 
 //Firerate (see above)
 
     public int damage = 20; 
 // how much damage it does (might be better to leave this hear)
 
     public void Shoot(){ 
   //Shoot function is called in the player controller (works)
 
 GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, GameObject.Find("FirePoint").transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
 }
 }
 
 // Code in the player controler for reference 
 //if(Input.GetMouseButton(0))
  //    { 
   //      if(Time.time >= nextTimeOfFire){
 
    //         currentWeapon.Shoot();
    //         nextTimeOfFire = Time.time + 1 / currentWeapon.fireRate;
