Is there a way to choose/change the weapon for a player?

Yes you can, but I haven't worked with scripted weapons in MP that much. However, if you want someone to respawn with that weapon, you can use:

player.pers["weapon"] = "m1garand"; // Have them spawn with a "m1grand" -> next spawn

// Here is the part of the script in the gametype's GSC.
// I will see if I can mess with these a bit.
// self is the player. Instant?

maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::givePistol();
maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::giveGrenades();
maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::giveBinoculars();

self giveWeapon(self.pers["weapon"]);
self giveMaxAmmo(self.pers["weapon"]);
self setSpawnWeapon(self.pers["weapon"]);

if u want do that in a map

user setWeaponSlotWeapo("primaryb", "panzerschreck_mp");
user giveMaxAmmo("panzerschreck_mp");

Just replace the panzerschreck_mp by other wep
