Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge introduced units with special-case methods for specifying weapons - the IFV, Prism Tank and Gattling Cannon use WeaponX in place of Primary.

Current Primary Weapon

The weapon that a unit considers to be its actual primary weapon is not always determined simply by Primary. If the unit has both TurretCount and WeaponCount flags set then it will use WeaponX instead. If the unit is elite then it will use ElitePrimary or EliteWeaponX respectively instead.
If a unit has a current primary weapon then it is used as the unit's default DeathWeapon.
