A question about AddComponent and subclasses

This is my base class

using UnityEngine;

public class Weapon : MonoBehaviour, IInteractable
{
    public void Interact(Player player)
    {
        player.gameObject.AddComponent<Weapon>();
    }
}

It's extended by different children such as Pistol and M16. How can I make it so that the Interact function of the base class adds the child script instead of the base script?
