Problem description:
When I double click an object, it gives me the following runtime error:

runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /obj/Weapon/Iron_Axe.
proc name: DblClick (/obj/Weapon/DblClick)
usr: BeignetLover (/mob)
src: Iron Axe (/obj/Weapon/Iron_Axe)

You want new src.type(usr). However, instead of recreating and deleting the item, it usually makes more sense to move it with src.Move(usr) or src.loc = usr.

Also, that if(istype(src)) is nonsensical, unless you're reassigning src earlier in that process.

Also, your EquipUnequip() verb should be using usr for the player instead of the /mob/M argument--otherwise they can equip it to someone else!

I chose the istype(), because I have other instances of obj/Weapon. That way I don't have to code the vars all over again. But thanks for the help :)
