object.activeSelf and object.activeInheirarchy Both not working

I'm currently writing a weapon switcher script for a learning project in unity, but when I run my code , it never gets past the activeSelf, or in the current code, activeInHeirarchy, if statement.

To give an example, on lines 125 - 135 (in case 1), the code would log "primary active", but never get to "hands deactivated". Heres my code:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class WeaponHandler : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public GameObject[] infantryRifle;
     public GameObject[] scoutRifle;
     public GameObject[] sidearm;
 
     public GameObject hands;
 
     public GameObject[] Crosshair;
 
     #region Weapons
     // Current equiped assault rifle | 0 = none | infantry rifle var 1 = 1 | infantry rifle var 2 = 2 | etc
     public float infantryPrimaryLoadoutIndex;
 
     // Current equiped sidearm | 0 = none | 1 = sidearm var 1 | 1 = sidearm var 2 | etc
     public float sidearmLoadoutIndex;
 
     // Current equiped sniper rifle | 0 = none | 1 = scout rifle var 1 | 2 = scout rifle var 2 | etc
     public float scoutPrimaryLoadoutIndex;
     #endregion
 
     #region Indexes
     //Weapon that is current active and usable | 0 = hands | 1 = primary | 2 = sidearm |
     public float currentWeaponIndex;
     //Class chosen in menu | 0 = infantry | 1 = scout | 
     public float currentClassIndex;
     #endregion
 
     void Start()
     {
         currentWeaponIndex = 1;
         currentClassIndex = 0;
 
         //Deactivate all weapons
         foreach (var obj in infantryRifle)
         {
             obj.SetActive(false);
         }
         foreach (var obj in scoutRifle)
         {
             obj.SetActive(false);
         }
         foreach (var obj in sidearm)
         {
             obj.SetActive(false);
         }
         foreach (var obj in Crosshair)
         {
             obj.SetActive(false);
         }
         hands.SetActive(false);
     }

                 break;
         }
     }
