Summary	02028: All sets in aliens.c: "3 bullets" weapon fires only 2 bullets when player is at the top of screen
Description	"3 bullets" weapon shows only 2 bullets being fired when the player is at the top of screen. It actually starts about 3/4 of the way, but thats beside the point. This could be correct behavior, but I haven't noticed it until now. Tested on official .126 and MAMEUI64 126.1
Steps To Reproduce	In first stage, simply acquire the 3 bullets weapon, move to the top of the screen and fire. You will notice that only 2 bullets are shown being fired. Move back down toward the bottom and all 3 bullets will be shown.
Additional Information	Someone might need to verify this on a real PCB.
