When firing a Fire Charge out of a Dispenser at any mob, it sets it on fire. However when a Fire Charge is shot out of a Dispenser at an Armor Stand, it does not take damage or catch fire. This seems inconsistent with other LivingEntities.
How to reproduce:
Place an armor stand.
Place a dispenser facing the armor stand, a few blocks away from it.
Insert fire charges into the dispenser.
Power the dispenser.
Expected result:
The armor stand would either be destroyed instantly or catch fire from the projectile
Observed result:
The projectile vanishes upon hitting the armor stand

This report originally tracked armor stands not being set on fire from small fireballs; small fireballs' impact damage was not considered. Its original title was also misleading, as “fireball” usually refers to ghast fireballs. In light of MC-311324, which I have resolved into this, I have rewritten the report to better encompass the scope of the issue now described and am requesting a review.
Can confirm on 1.21.4. Fire does not set Armour Stand on fire.
