Congratulations - you have found some original borked code that has always been there that nobody has bothered to mention in the 10+ years of the game's existence.

All warhead size 1 weapons will use a generic Co-axial MG sound, since the code that was written back in the year dot by SSI assumes that fortifications are a vehicle type class!. (They are a kind of subset of immobile vehicle as far as the code is concerned, with "leaky" armour that will let rifle etc fire through on occasion).

Seems like bunker's rifles have been doing that for the entire history of Steel Panthers, and you are the first person to notice and report the fact.

A 1 minute fix, once I get round to it.

Cheers
Andy
