The weapon holds a down trigger; Combat's early returns issued no release and had no exit hook, so a held
Slug Rifle, Autocannon or Flak Gun fired on at nothing. Combat is the one owner of the AI's trigger level:
every held AutoWeapon it does not pull this step is released. A held gun stays a group candidate between
rounds so cooling does not drop it. Tests run through Minion/Combat.
