Why are weapons racks/displays limited to 2 weapons?

[rookie]

So I bought Fallout 4 game of the year edition. Everything ported over and I haven't lost any progress from the plain old Fallout 4 version.

I had high hopes for storing my weapons using the weapon racks to keep them out of the settlers hands.

Am I missing something on how to store more than 2 weapons to a rack? Also where do I store ammo now that I have that DLC?

You can always build another weapon rack next to the first one if you want more space, and the racks can snap onto each other to make it look nice.

But the ideal secure storages (for ammunition, weapons, and anything else) are the mannequin "Armour Racks" from the Contraptions Workshop DLC. While they only show clothing and armour, you can stick anything you like in their inventory, and because they work like a frozen NPC instead of a regular container, other NPCs won't loot them.

Yeah I finally figured it out that you can use the armor racks and not the the display boards.

Because Bethesda did it. Because for some reason they can not do, for money, things a modder, working by himself, was able to do in his spare time.

Even tho is restricted to one you can still use console parameters to move the weapon next to each other and there is a flaw in the vanilla game where you can build those short/long weapon racks inside each other making the display of the weapon again next to other.
I've been using this trick to make my custom tool rack using all sort of handed weapon and just look like a real tool rack.
