Array of Actors but not from Level?

I want a array of all weapon childs so i can use all properties of the gun in my shop menu
but i dont really want to use the weapon that is in the level because i destroy it at some places etc.
So does anyone have a tip/idea how i can do this?? tell me if u need more info

I fixed it by making a structure array with inside the structure i had all the weapon classes because you are able to choise whatever class you want. then spawned it and made it hidden in game
