Type Field initializers

I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything.

Is it possible to initialize Type Fields?

This bit of code compiles:

Type TypeWeapon
	Field WeaponID% = 1
	Field Ammo% = 500
	Field FireRate% = 2
	Field Velocity% = 100
	Field Range% = 500
	Field Damage% = 1
	Field Force% = 1
	Field Weight% = 50
End Type

but it doesn't seem to actually work...
