### Issue Type (Required):

Enemy Mechanics

### Issue Description (Required):

It feels like it might be an accidental revert. Gunners seem to be more prone to go full auto in melee/short range and resistant to stagger when being hit in melee.

One example among many of why I think this might be the case: I was downed and while i was down a shooter that was within melee range started shooting with his gun rather than hitting me with melee.
