Summary

0005403: When stationed, marksdwarves refuse to fire training ammo, but don't grab combat ammo either

Description

For my marksmans squad, I've assigned wooden bolts for training and metal bolts (cooper) for combat.
When stationing then while ambushed, the dwarves was carring only wooden bolts, and I had metal bolts avaiable on a stack at the barracks.
What I think the dwarves should do is get the metal bolts when I commanded them to station.

Steps To Reproduce

Precondition:
- Have both wooden and metal bolts on a stack at the barrack.
- Set 'Squad Eq' on the barrack.
- Some dwarves are not equiped with metal bolts yet.

Execution:
***Adding new ammunition type:
'm' -> 'f' -> 'c' -> 'Choose ammunition (bolt)' -> 'Select the new item' -> 'M' -> 'Select metal' (do the same for Wood)

***Setting training and combar bolts:
'm' -> 'f' -> 'Choose squad' -> 'choose item' -> 'C' for "use in combat" OR 'T' for "Use in training" (set Wooden bolts for training and Metal bolts for combat)

***Stationing the dwarves:
's' -> 'Choose the squad' -> 'm' -> 'Choose the place to sation and ENTER'

Expected Result:
When stationing the marksmans squad, The dwarves who are not yet equiped with metal bolts go to the stack and pickup them and then go to station.

Actual result:
When stationing the marksmans squad, the dwarves who are yet not equiped with metal bolts go to station without them, as a result, tey don't fire at all (even using wooden bolts, because they are forbiden to do so).

Additional Information

After a while the dwarves beggin to take both wooden and metal bolts by themself, not because a "station" command, but because the "use in Combat" and "use in training" settings.

When they are equiped with both bolts types, there is no problem on combat.

OBS: By stationing, it is valid to consider both the "attack" and "move" commands.

I don't know if this issue is present on the 0.34.02
