Description of the bug

Comtech and Dropship sentries will endlessly expend ammunition attempting to hit a facehugger that is calmly running around inside vents pipes.

What's the difference with what should have happened?

Sentries ignore things they cannot hit in pipes.

How do we reproduce this bug?

1. Put a sentry on Alamo (doesn't appear to always work)
1b. Try using a comtech turret instead
2. Run a hugger in vents past it

Issue Bingo

I could not reproduce this with the UA-571-C sentry gun (placed it on the Almayer, activated it, ran in front of it with a hugger, it shot it. I spawned another hugger, climbed into a vent, went up to it in the vent, it was not shooting at it).

I am also unable to reproduce locally, I even tested it in the exact same spot on Sorokyne and it still didn't work. However I can confirm this definitely did happen because I was playing lesser drone that round and was crawling around the vents in the fob. In fact it is I that was blown up by that sentry in the clip Drulikar posted.
Both the dropship sentries and a plasma sentry were attempting to shoot at my position despite me being in a vent. Strangely the plasma sentry also started shooting backwards when I moved in front of it and then moved behind, as if it didn't care about the angle for some reason.
At the time I did think it was strange because in other rounds prior I had vented in front of sentries and had never seen this behaviour before. So seems like something was broken that round and I have no idea what. Maybe that get_line() refactor testmerge?

Edit:
I got the chance to vent in front of a sentry on the server again and it did not shoot at me this time. Test merges were #5086 #5392 #5452 #5526 #5506 #5519
So doesn't seem like it's due to that get_line() test merge.

HIGHLY related problem, was put inside a host as larva during hijack and the person was near a fuel pump. All the sentries at the fuel pump targeted me as a larva inside the host with constant fire. As in non-stop firing at the infected person though I did note that the sentry guns did not do any damage to the infected person. I was able to stay inside the body for some time as the sentries just kept firing. I seriously doubt sentry guns have the ability to identify larva inside a person in lore or they would be shooting any infected person on sight. Do not know if engineer based sentries do the same thing.
