Some ad-hoc descriptions for some gear states. I hope they are not too wrong.
#summary List of all gear types
This is a list of (hopefully) all gear types, along with a short description and the meaning of severval fields.
The columns “Pos”, “Tag”, “Timer” and “Health” show the meaning of the gear’s field for the listed gear type. The word “ignored” means that the field in question is not relevant to gears of the gear type. See also `GetGearPos`, `SetGearPos`, `GetTag`, `SetTag`, `GetTimer`, `SetTimer`, `GetHealth`, `SetHealth` in [LuaAPI].
Please note this list is still mostly TODO. The categories presented here are purely for a better overview here; they do not neccessarily reflect anything in the actual game’s source code.

Note: `gtBomb` and `gtShell` were named `gtAmmo_Bomb` and `gtAmmo_Grenade` before 0.9.14.
