Guards / Guard NPCs Cannot Use Huntmaster Saber's Thermal Rifle, Despite other Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle rarities being usable

Summary

Huntmaster Saber’s Thermal Rifle (Object Path: /ResolveGameplay/Items/Guns/BossWeapon/WID_Assault_Surgical_Thermal_Athena_UR_ThunderMeow.WID_Assault_Surgical_Thermal_Athena_UR_ThunderMeow) is not usable by Guards / Guard NPCs when granted to them, and cannot be equipped through the item list either.

This is an issue because the other rarities of the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle that we have access to in UEFN (Epic + Legendary) do not have this issue, and Huntmaster Saber’s Mythic variant functions the exact same as those rarities just with improved stats.
