Subject: [PATCH] Fixes modular guns not self-recharging until first shot is
 fired (#22567)

fixes #22025

- bugfix: "Modular energy guns with a reactor now self-recharge from
assembly, instead of only starting after the first shot is fired."

try_recharge is currently only triggered on fire and loops until charge
is full. this triggers it when a modular gun is completed to initiate
the recharging
