Weapon switching using array

Okay, i currently have 2 guns(ak47, 9mm) attached to the first person controller. They have animations. Show, hide,reload,etc..

Now, i can basically get them to switch by following the fps tutorial. However, i want to be able to use an array so later on i can manage the weapons better(pick up and drop weapons) and not switch a weapon currently equipped.

So switching the weapon like this works perfectly without the array.

 transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(false);
 weapons[i].gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(true);

However, when i use an array they wont switch and both guns show on play. Something that doesnt happen using transform.

I did assign both guns in the inspection for the array so they should contain the gun objects.

 var weapons : GameObject[];
 var selectedWeapon : int;
 var handgunHide : Animation;
 var handgunShow : Animation;
 
 var AK47Hide : Animation;
 var AK47Show : Animation;
 
 
 function Start () {
 SelectWeapon(0);
 }
 
 function Update () {
 
 
 if(Input.GetKeyDown("1"))
 {
 
 SelectWeapon(0);
 selectedWeapon = 0;
 
 //handgunHide.animation.Play("Hide");
 //AK47Show.animation.Play("Show");
 }
 
 else if(Input.GetKeyDown("2"))
 {
 SelectWeapon(1);
 selectedWeapon = 1;
 
 //handgunShow.animation.Play("Show");
 
 //AK47Hide.animation.Play("Hide");
 }
 
 }
 
 function SelectWeapon(index : int)
 {
 
 for(var i =0; i < weapons.Length; i++)
 //transform.childCount; i++)
 {
 if(i == index)
 {
 weapons[i].gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(false);
 //transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(true);
 }
 else{
 weapons[i].gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(true);
 //transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(false);
 }
 
 }
 }

I also tried to no avail

 weapons[i].SetActiveRecursively(true);

if i dont use the array it works perfectly but if i do it wont work and both guns show. What could i do? I am perfectly fine using C# also.
