True. But, for the record, it is not actually a boolean table. It is a
table of multipliers (implemented per a discussion we had last year),
where 0 means that a particular type of ammo is not used against a
particular type of unit, and multipliers >0 are multiplied against the
'consumption-per-fire' (or 'consumption-per-attack', if
'consumption-per-fire' is negative).

And, this is all stated in the documentation....

P.S. This seems to be one of the ways in which firing differs from a
ranged attack.
