If you point at the primary weapon of an infantry unit, cursorObject will return the p3d of the weapon instead of the unit itself (B Alpha 1-2:1.. or its variable name ). That doesn't occur for anything else (backpack or headgear).

Some large buildings aren't found by this command. "Land_Airport_Tower_F" and "Land_Offices_01_V1_F" are two examples.
