(general weapon flags)

flags:

• must be readied - "Prevents weapon from being used, attempting to attack with weapon will force drop it, unknown how to set to ready state"

• prevents grenade throwing - "Prevents grenade throwing.... unknown else behavior"
• prevents melee attack - "Disables melee attacks with weapon"

• don't clear fire bit after recovering - "Enabling this flag allows soft recovery fraction while also disabling the ability for spew weapons to use the shots per fire values"
• staggers fire across multiple markers - "Causes weapon to cycle projectile emission point from multiple trigger markers, alternates between 2 markers but for more markers seems to pick at random"
• fires locked projectiles - "Forces AI actors using this barrel to only track when targeting a human-tracking type unit, else they self-guide projectiles, unknown otherwise"
• can fire at maximum age - "This barrel will continue to be able to fire despite the weapon age being at 0"
