How can you disable a RigidBody?

Question

I have a gun that can be picked up. Because it has a RigidBody it falls as soon as you equip it. How can you disable it or prevent it from falling. I tried

 var Gun : RigidBody
 
 function PickUp ()
 {
        Gun.active = false;
 }

This should do it!

 var Gun : GameObject;
 
 function PickUp()
 {
   Gun.rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
 }

for not thinking rigidbody.enabled = false; - I'm not sure why, but the rigidbody doesn't have enabled on it. And if you try rigidbody.active = false; that will actually disable the gameObject that the rigidbody is attached to.

So you either set is$$anonymous$$inematic to true, or nuke the whole component if it's not needed anymore: Destroy(target.rigidbody);
