Subject: [PATCH] Lawgiver balance adjustments (#5826)

* Changes the stun projectile type from a beam to an electrode. Didn't really make sense why it was shooting stun rays instead of stun 'bullets.' Essentially a flexibility nerf.

* Changes the gun charge consumption for burst firing down from 150 to 50. This is because burst-shooting should be consuming 50 each anyway, making the burst-fire option more useful, since it only had 13 shots when burst-fired previously. This is essentially a buff.

Everything else pertaining to Lawgivers is unchanged.
