Description

Using addWeapon script command on an AI, only giving a sidearm, makes the unit unable to react to behaviour mods: safe and careless, the unit keeps it's sidearm in it's hand

I tried to give the unit a primary weapon and remove it right after, using the units Init field, or using sqs and sqf to create unit with the same Init field and it worked fine, but simply gearing up makes unit unable to holster all the way(init field, sqs or sqf.)
Using trigger or delayed script to remove the gun later, not in Init field still leads to the same bad result.

If you take an existing unit with sidearm(NATO Officer for example), and put into it's init field the command to remove it's primary weapon has a good result, AI holsters fine.

Steps To Reproduce

1st:
Put together a unit in the Virtual Arsenal, having only a sidearm and export it.

2nd:
Create a unit in editor, paste the exported script into the unit's Init field, and create a waypoint with "safe" or "careless" behaviour modes selected, or put the "setbehaviour" command into Init field for it.

3rd:
Run the mission and see the unit keeping his gun in hand

4th: (Solution)
Add commands to unit's Init field: this addweapon ""; this removeweapon primaryweapon this;
Now the unit should spawn unarmed, sidearm being in it's holster.

Additional Information

I'm running the Dev build, but I remember having this issue in the stable version too.

My first idea was it's reason is one of the mods, but tested vanilla too.

I wanted to create a random gear selecting script to make police officers have random loadout and look, but this bug makes them look stupid.

Edit:
Found a command on forums to solve this problem for me:
_unit action ['SwitchWeapon', _unit, _unit, 100];};
But I think it should work by itself.
