Pump Shotgun L4 (Epic) can't aim while airborne - other rarities work

Summary

In Creative/UEFN, the Epic rarity Pump Shotgun cannot aim down sights (ADS) while the player is in the air (jumping or falling). All other rarities of the same Pump Shotgun can ADS in the air normally, and in Battle Royale the Epic rarity also works normally. This only happens with the Epic version in Creative/UEFN.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a Creative/UEFN island and grant the Pump Shotgun (Epic rarity) to a player (e.g. with an Item Granter).
  2. Jump and hold the aim button (ADS) while in the air.
  3. Observe that the player cannot aim down sights while airborne.
  4. Repeat steps 1–3 with the Pump Shotgun in any other rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary).
  5. Observe that all other rarities can ADS in the air normally.

Expected Result

The Epic Pump Shotgun should be able to aim down sights while airborne, the same as the other rarities in Creative and the Epic rarity in Battle Royale.

Observed Result

The Epic Pump Shotgun cannot aim down sights while the player is in the air. Only the Epic rarity is affected, and only in Creative/UEFN.

Additional Notes

This affects competitive/practice islands, since jump-aiming with the Pump Shotgun is a common Battle Royale mechanic and players expect the same behavior in Creative.
