33636cb603 More evac shuttles 2 (#5669)
## About The Pull Request

Adds a couple really expensive shuttles.

- The gold version of Oh Hi Daniel, being a joke and expensive but not
nearly as expensive as
- The Vigilante, a long-range syndicate transport shuttle with a cosy
layout and also some mobs and a sentience balloon. (Also contains a
unique weapon)
- The Millionaire Shuttle, a very gold shuttle that's supposed to feel
fancy, and also it has some silly custom items.

Also adds a "medical bay" pod to the cluster of escape pods, along with
making it require an emagged console.
Also reduces the breacher's price considering that in hindsight it's not
_that_ good of a shuttle.
## Why It's Good For The Game

The last time I made some shuttles people kinda liked them, so I decided
to make a couple more.

## Proof Of Testing

Shuttles are able to be bought and they work just fine. StrongDMM
screenshots follow:

6304345b60 Regal Condor nerf (#5718)
## About The Pull Request

Changes the Regal Condor to be less absolutely broken. Changes are as
follows:
- Damage multiplier on the gun: 1.25 -> 1.00 (effective damage from 62.5
-> 50)
- Armour Penetration: 40 -> 30
- Projectile Speed: Hitscan -> 1.75 (a bit faster than average)
- Crafting recipe for the gun has been altered: Requires a parts kit
purchasable from an uplink instead of 4tc directly where said kit costs
4tc and cannot be discounted, along with being restricted to higher
player numbers.
- Crafting recipe for the magazines has been tweaked, now requiring a
telecrystal per each additional magazine you want to make.
- To compensate for the exclusivity of the parts kit, a
credit-purchasable one has been made available to the persistence.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The regal condor is a ridiculously broken gun and was fortunately not
used to it's full potential up until recently, where it became very
obvious that it's current state was unacceptable.

## Proof Of Testing

Recipe works as intended, and the condor's projectile and damage has
successfully changed. The required item is available in the uplink and
the percy express console. Actual validation for the uplink restrictions
will require live testing, unfortunately.

## Changelog
🆑
balance: Nerfed the Condor's damage performance, and tweaked it's
recipe.

MathildeandGitHub ffcf01d82a Adds the 9mm Speed Loader (#5665)
## About The Pull Request

I've added a speed loader usable by the new Protector revolver, sprited
by both me and Niim. It holds five 9mm bullets, craftable from both the
security fabricator and the autolathe, just like the .38 speedloader.
Obviously, it can only hold 9mm bullets, you can't use it to pick up
other ammo types.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The new revolver is EXTREMELY janky to reload otherwise, only allowing
one single bullet at a time from Murphy magazines.

## Proof Of Testing

https://files.catbox.moe/zy8hcw.mp4

I've since fixed some spelling mistakes visible in the preview (was
speedloader, changed to speed loader)

MrGloopyandGitHub 50222a9465 Adds two new revolvers (#5544)
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds two new revolvers to cargo orders. Both are available as a
goodie. The security variant fires 9mm Murphy rounds and is orderable
via departmental order as well. The Civillian version fires .38 but is
slightly innacurate due to poor quality.

add: 'Protector' revolver. Fires 9mm 'Murphy' with a 5 shot capacity. 
add: 'Defender' revolver. The 'Defender' is a cheaply manufactured
knockoff of the 'Protector'. It fires .38 rounds while being very cheap,
at a cost of doing 90% damage and a small accuracy penalty.
add: New revolvers to cargo. The 'Protector' is available in a 3 pack
via departmental security order as well. Both are available as single

MathildeandGitHub c540fc3b25 Reworks the NT-USP and adds a SMG variant (#5426)
## About The Pull Request

I have slightly reworked the NT-USP, renaming it to NT22-HCS 'Enforcer',
giving it an original name as opposed to being called after the real
life H&K USP (which is notoriously pissy about copyright, among other
things), as well as adding lore and flavour to it.

I've fixed a minor bug regarding the .22 HL projectiles, which had
shrapnel set to null but not embeds, causing the runtime to freak out
every time a target was shot with them, as well as making it so that
dropped bullets and casings automatically delete themselves, to keep in
line with the fact that they are hardlight bullets, instead of actual
physical bullets.

But the bulk of this PR is the NT22-HCS-MP 'Lancer', a new submachine
gun, a direct upgrade of the Enforcer. It's a Machine Pistol with a
design based on the MP5 (credits to Niim!), which sports a larger
magazine, but is also compatible with the smaller pistol magazines. It
deals the same amount of damage as the pistol, both in its regular,
stamina draining mode and its 'hacked' mode (which deals the same amount
of damage and keeps its -15 chance to cause wounds.)

The device that hacks the battery packs into laser weapons is unchanged,
and remains as a tech locked behind the Riot Suppression techweb. It can
hack both the Enforcer and the Lancer.

The Enforcer and the Lancer can be bought from Cargo in goodie packs.
The Enforcer costs 600 credits, the Lancer 800.
The Enforcer crate, which contains three and is exclusive to security as
a departmental order, can be bought for 1100, while a crate of three
Lancers can be bought for 1300.

Truthfully between the damage (both lethal and stamina) and the costs of
the goody/crates, I am not too sure about the numbers, and might need
advice from someone who has more experience than me in this.

/>


## Why It's Good For The Game

The NT-USP as-is kind of falls of, currently, being easily supplanted by
most other options. The Lancer acts as a straight upgrade that offers a
(normally) non-lethal way for security to apprehend criminals at a
range. It makes security more diverse while offering different options,
instead of having to rely on 'meta' choices, considering that this is a
roleplaying game.

## Proof Of Testing

File was too big for GitHub.
https://files.catbox.moe/50w993.mp4

## Changelog

🆑 IbexGoetia, Niim
fix: .22HL ammunition no longer tries to embed unexistent shrapnel, and
no longer materialises casings from nowhere.
spellcheck: Renamed NT-USP to NT22-HCS 'Enforcer'
add: Added the NT22-HCS-MP 'Lancer', a SMG variant of the Enforcer. It's
a roundstart weapon for the Blueshield and a purchase option for
security. It comes with larger magazines and a collapsible stock.
Credits to Niim for the wonderful SMG sprite!
add: Added goodie cases for each variant of the NT22-HCS.

<!-- Please make sure to actually test your PRs. If you have not tested
your PR mention it. -->

## Why It's Good For The Game
This PR would allow for more flavour options for those who have augged
characters. It's kinda difficult to RP having implants if you can't
mechanically HAVE some implants from the get-go. Multiple people have
expressed interest in something like this. There is a severe lack of
Not-Illegal implants that you can acquire relatively early and I wish to
alleviate this.



The implanted recorder may allow for some blackmail strategy if playing
as an antagonist.

Fixes bug with lighter implant.


The blaster is a very shitty dart flinger. The only real benefit is that
it's implanted. You can't move while priming it, same as a rebar
crossbow. 10% chance to jam, 50% chance to unjam.

Mechanically operates like a rebar crossbow. Small chance (10%) to jam
just because its funny.
add: New implants to cargo goodies.
add: Manual shield moth eyes to roundstart. Same as the other ones but
moth flavoured. Same weakness to flash as normal moth eyes when shield
is not in use. By virtue of them being cybernetic, they will not heal
over time, same as any others.
add: Invisible version of the civilian HUD implant for roundstart. No
more green eye if you don't want it.
sprite: Added sprite by the wonderful Niim for the donksoft implant.

RoxyandGitHub 0e69e8b227 Buffs the murphy a little bit because I didn't die to it once (#5438)
## About The Pull Request
Buffs the murphy mag to 14 shots, up from 10
Buffs the murphy rocket mags to 10 shots, up from 8.
Gives the murphy bullets Twenty AP.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The murphy, as it stands, is not good. It is relegated to being a
dedicated "Simplemobs And Tider Repellant Gun" (which admittedly is its
original purpose). This is all fine in its own right, however, nowhere
does it state this outright. What this leads to is either it being
replaced for better options off the bat, or new and clueless security
players being unaware of just how weak it is, and then dying because of
it as it is their standard-issue pistol. In its current state it takes
10 shots to crit a redsuit. That is One Full Magazine.

After this PR? It's 8 shots whilst you have a magazine size of 14. Still
quite a few shots to crit and it means almost every other security
weapon is better at being lethal especially due to the murphys slow
firerrate, but it at least gives you more of a chance, as well as being
able to miss any shots at all. This will not suddenly turn the gun into
The Meta. These are some minor adjustements to hopefully have it feel
good to use in the slightest.

## About The Pull Request
Port of https://github.com/yogstation13/Yogstation/pull/16414
Adds the NT-USP. A ballistic disabler that fires hardlight bullets.
These fly faster, but do less stamina damage per shot than a normal
disabler.
The gun itself can also be suppressed which is rad.
The gun comes with a spare magazine, which can be charged in a charger
like a normal gun.
also ports the patch from
https://github.com/yogstation13/Yogstation/pull/17501
this allows you to convert your magazines to lethal ones with a kit.
This kit is locked behind riot suppression.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Energy and pepperballs only (lame)
Ballistics are cooler!
Gives a trade off weapon besides the taser for people to take, and gives
the suppressor a use.

.457 Government
MCR magazines
.40 Sol
Hornet's nest


Gun removals:
MCR's
.457 revolver
M4A5

CCK
GP-7
R10 revolver

Guns made inaccessible:
NRI guns (including derringer, bobr, plasmas, Miecz)
Sol35 (Tarkon, sol ERT, gateway, adminspawn)
Sol40 (Tarkon, sol ERT, gateway, adminspawn)
Trappiste caliber (wespe, some already adminspawn weapons)


Turret adjustments:
Twin Fang - 4.6x30mm, 2 Second burst delay (40 dmg every 2 seconds vs 30
dmg every 1.5 seconds (old))
Stinger - 4.6x30mm instead of .35, matching damage
Colonist - .45 added instead of sol40, matching damage
Hoplite - Same as above

Armoury:
Armoury spawned MCRs replaced with laser guns and energy guns
SMG's and rifles with WT

1 shotting a dark mauler I wish I was kidding)

Lathe:
9mm stendo's, AP, HP, INC magazines not availible for print - the 9mm
murphy magazine is. It fits in 9mm firing turrets and the murphy.


## Why It's Good For The Game

Give me like a couple days and I'll fill this out. I doubt anyone who is
already pro-skyrat-gun will change their mind but it's good to
rationalize the decision regardless.

Find this out as in lay it out on paper. 

EDIT 1:  Adding the first part

# Foreword
This PR is a *draft*. That means a lot of things are subject to change,
a lot of things can be disorganized and a lot of things will be done
unoptimally. Going forwards, do keep in mind, the decision-making
process behind "remove entirely" and "virtually remove" will not be
dependant on us going forwards, as the decision on this matter requires
maintainer input more than any other.

Next, the delay. 
I simply am not a machine, neither are other people onboard this
project. With different timezones, it was important to find what isn't
working so I can relay it to people in working hours.

Without further ado,

## The case of the ammo types and workbench

The ammunitions workbench is a machine that provides ammunition into
clips, refilling them. The ammunition workbench is also the source of a
multitude of alternate ammunition types. It has with itself brought
several issues that at least would warrant a rework or heavy
adjustments:

1. Contraband ammunitions. There is no real reason that the entire
security department, or even a single crewmember should be accessing
phasic weapons in the form of printable ammotypes. The argument of "the
pipegun having it" doesn't do it favours, as the way you get it is an 8%
chance on crafting a junk round for a bulky gun and the only way to find
out if you actually have it is checking each shell individually with a
bandolier.

2. Complimentary with the removals. Most use cases for this machine are
refilling the magazines you can order or get alongside your weapons.
This collides with the protolathe, which sources most of our
upstream-based ammunition instead. With the skyrat weapons gone, this
machine becomes redundant. You may claim that it's still useful in
saving on materials, where you would be right! However is it worth to
have and maintain an entirely separate structure, with it's own
mechanics, map placements, etc. to get a benefit equal to 1.6x more bang
for the buck? At the end of the day, splitting ways of getting ammo
across a single room for something so miniscule compared to the bloat it
adds is pointless.



# The weapons, why should they go, one by one. 

### RomTech Flechette rifles
Compared to a standard laser gun, which is in all means our baseline of
ranged damage in ss13 - being the default armoury weapon, the default
laser for turrets and default laser for mobs. Better yet, let's compare
it to that and the default ballistic option that we have from TG.

What turns out, is that not only is the romtech carbine faster at
killing than the laser, but also rivals the WT with a split second of
difference in ttk in the favour of the romtech. Let's assume it's human
error and the WT is better TTK wise, just as an experiment. Clearly,
there must be a tradeoff, somewhere, right? One that balances them all
out to be equal weapons in the grand scale of things, contemporaries!
Well, no, not really. Not even close.

The carbine can be folded to fit in bags, that's one thing. The carbine
has more ammo, that's another thing. Bursts are harder to dodge than
series shots since they cover more perpendicular ground when attempting
to dodge projectiles, as is staple for ss13 combat. Burst weapons are
advantageous in applying more damage quicker, as you can see on the
videos - and initial damage, an alpha strike, applies movement slowdown,
ensuring future projectiles connect easier and the target cannot run.

It might be a coincidence that the only /tg/ derived weapons that fire
burst are adminspawn ERT or the Nukie weapons.

But it doesn't end here, no, the RomTech's ammunition alone would
warrant a complete overhaul if not a removal.

**steel ball**
<p>
Takes 9 shots to stamcrit, deals mixed damage - further increasing the
amount of slowdown applied, and not only is it MUCH faster at
stamcritting than a disabler is, it also leaves the target with 70
damage. Over half their healthbar. Severely overtuned with little
counterplay availible, alpha strike monster that is better at disabling
than disablers and better at stopping people dead in their tracks than
rifles, and if you look at our anti-stun, we have less than ever on
antagonists with Adrenal implants gone, Adreanaline Glands reworked,
etc, etc...
</p>

**Penetrator**

NT's answer to armour! 
The penetrator has 60 AP and otherwise the same damage as the AP WT
rifle. Meaning it's a straight upgrade. Meaning this weapon invalidates
it's predecessor whilst being orderable roundstart, and not only that,
but it can fully ignore elite modsuits on nukeops. Not every mechanic
has to have a counter, there's no direct counter to someone healing
after a fight, there is no direct counter to having multiple shots, and
there shouldn't be a full nullification of armour for such a low cost.
There shouldn't be one for a crew that can mass produce these, ever.

**Magnesium**

Arguably fine, 12 firestacks per shot is still quite insane for a lower
chance of friendly fire compared to original incediary hot turfs,

**Ripper**

Steel ball, but even worse. They don't embed a single time, ***this
embeds every time***. It takes several seconds to take out. Actually,
let's compare this gun's bullets to ninja stars.

- 2 times the embed chance at 200 vs 100
- 8 times the jostle chance at 80 vs 10
- Comparable fall chance, at 1 vs 0
- More pain stam pct, at 0.9 vs 0.8, meaning more stamina damage
- More pain chance, at 70 vs 15
- Less pain modifier, at 2 vs 5
- Takes longer to take out, 5 seconds vs 3
- Jostling pain is the same

### One problem. There's three of those fired per burst, cannot be
caught either. And the armour pen is the same.

in conclusion, every aspect of this gun is unhealthy for the game, from
it's gimmick, to it's execution, to it's stats, to it's ammo, to it's
consistency, to it's firing mode, to it being able to be currently worn
on sec belts along disablers - up to 4, if I remember correct.

No reworks. It has to go.

01eae8710b Bubberstation gun replacements part 1: Murphy service pistol [part of skyrat removal PR] (#3949)
## About The Pull Request
Feedback here:

This PR is a complimentary PR that fills in the widest gaps left by the
now-removed arrangement of guns. The focus is on making security still
have a very reliable sidearm that is interesting and provides relevance
even in the later game. It is also perfectly usable as a regular weapon
without all the fluff.

This PR is one of 5 total, and with being asked to atomize my things, it
will be the first one to try out for testmerge.

# This PR only adds the murphy, rest is data on all plans and guns

## 'Murphy' security pistol
``This 9 mm monster was developed during the very first body-modding
craze by NanoTrasen, built with every what-if in mind, this timeless
brick is near-incapable of failure. 60% more bullet-per-bullet ammo may
not have helped it's killing power, but it sure helped this gun hit like
an actual brick when used as a bludgeon. Not only that, but it's
'anti-lawsuit' heavy trigger design allows for safe spinning, if one can
handle it and not hit anyone with the magazine flying out the
handle...``
- 20 damage shots
- 10 bullet magazines
- baton-equivilent pistol whip damage
- increased throw force
- press Z when the gun is dry to reload your gun over (2-3 seconds,
DRAFT, as I said). This can be done on the move and you do not need your
other hand empty to do this.
- toggleable setting, off by default, ejects your magazines for a tiny
bit of extra damage.
- researchable magazines that pack only 8 rounds in return for dealing
[30-40, up to adjustment] damage. [knockdown is being discussed]

## Upcoming: Personality Core Eguns, The SC-3
Aren't you tired of old eguns? The blandness of them? Their low amount
of potential upgrades?
Well fear not, as with every arms race, Allstar has made developments of
their own.
*lightly* copying the homework off their more morally corrupt
competitors, personality modules.

So how's it compare to an egun? 
- Radial menu is a bit clunkier to use
- Comes with a free combat knife as a module
- Will loudly proclaim your location when emp'd due to a personaltiy
module
- Is practically the same combat-wise as the egun if you were to
micromanage a combat knife alongside it. It's a third-degree, but was
highly requested, and not only! (I say equivilent to combat knife
because I am about to release an ERT buff PR)

**As you can impact what the final modules are with this poll**
https://forms.gle/d3Fst6ZLWYTb8mDo7


--## Plasma Gun [the most wip of them all]
- Magazine fed bulky weapon
- We hear concerns about vampires being too strong, so this weapon's
shots damage scales depending on the amount of shots a target has
received from this particular gun. No, 5 officers with the same gun will
not be more effective than one.
- Due to it's high power (if you can mind the damage rampup), it's also
highly expensive and volatile. You shouldn't let one of those armaments
explode, lest it's core bursts. (Gibtonite effect upon being caught in a
heavy explosion, after some time).
--

This weapon is not needed for the game balance, instead, focus is
shifted to rebalancing the Kiboko to be a usable gun. The aim will be to
have it to take on a more supportive role, being effective at applying
firestacks and providing smoke if need be.

The kiboko will become a tool that will require itself to be roundstart
only, or at least dep-order only as to prevent it from being a recurring
threat if dealt with once already.

- Buff damage from 20 -> 30 on hit
- Buff projectile velocity
- Remove practise and shrapnel rounds
- Remove delay between hitting target and exploding (if on the same
tile)
- Grenades will now explode even if they score a direct hit
- Less deadly fire grenades (up to 100+ damage per one currently if met
on an unarmored target in close proximity, will likely make it less
damaging but more consistent)


Planned addition:
       Breacher rounds:
The kiboko's breacher rounds are inspired by the strange delay they
initially had and how it felt reminiscent of R6's Ash. Frangible slugs
are not often used as it takes away ammo from a main weapon, they are
also clunkier and require several rounds. They have their place but are
overall quite messy.

What breacher rounds will do is cause a delayed (mostly cosmetic)
explosion after striking a target object, structure or person. The delay
will be larger if the integrity of the object hit is large, scaling.
This isn't the end of the world as it will still be the quickest or at
least easiest way to tear down walls and airlocks. This also provides
some time to take out any shields, weapons and prime grenades while
waiting on the charge to drill deeper and have the fuse detonate.
   
     
## Why It's Good For The Game
(will update this, currently my exams are approaching very quickly, so
please be understanding for needing yet more time. Work speed will pick
up drastically once that is over. )

New security get a gun that is easy and convenient to use.
The gun is not meant to be your main tool of dealing with threats such
as traitor, rather your backup plan. As such, it benefits from okay-ish
stats for melee combat once you run out of everything.
It shakes up the belt-storage meta, making magazines more enticing of a
choice considering the potential of unloading very consistent fire if
one is to use that room.
For threats that are more slippery or plentiful such as carps or spiders
this gun's aforementioned consistency crowns over other ones.
Lastly, in those scenarios it helps you keep your shield up and keep
dishing out damage. Turn off your brain for once with the Murphy.

Highly requested bit of fun gun customization, will come with multiple
personality matrices.

~~
Helps security and crew with dealing with extremely defensive and bulky
threats. Be it a nukie, mech or vampire, if the user maintains healthy
social distancing then the tables will turn quickly, forcing antagonists
to reconsider their approach and introduces a gun that while possible to
use personally, becomes much better with team-oriented protective
playstyles.

~~ I have discussed this heavily with my team and they have reassured me
that the current threats are not as bad as it would have initially
seemed. The tools to deal with that already exist.

The kiboko's rounds can be outran which makes it only a good breaching
weapon, as a breaching weapon it is outclassed by almost anything else
as anyone can block the grenade with their body for a measely 20 damage
pre-armour, and then there's the fact it's shrapnel rounds cause weeping
avulsions near-guaranteedly if they hit. It's a mess.

Again, disclaimer, the values are not final, will be likely changed,
aspects such as how the guns work are being discussed and the visual
aspects are going to be handled last.

The necessity of more is being discussed as 5 concepts of guns were
scrapped, 2 of which mid-development.

## Proof Of Testing
To be done, you can find discussion pertaining this in the skyrat gun
removal thread.


## Changelog

🆑
add: Added a security sidearm - the Murphy service pistol. Spin to
reload with ammo from your belt slot, toggle launch-ejecting mags (and
special mags) for a little (or a lot) extra damage. Show the last person
to have laughed at your gun why your 'brick' is called a brick by
pistolwhipping them (baton equivalent damage on hit, stronger throw).
add: 9mm security caliber for the murphy.

468afa292d Adds the WT-551, Unskyrats the WT-550 ammo (#655)
## About The Pull Request


## The WT-551

![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/d57f5767-366e-4835-a5bf-d965b6b375a6)

This adds the WT-551. A remade version of the WT-550 that is worse in
every way. Fortunately, that means that it is balanced enough to be put
in NanoTrasen armories.

Compared tot he WT-551, it is bulkier and slightly slower (0.3 second
fire delay compared to 0.2). Additionally, it is commonly used with
rubber-tipped rounds or FlatHead rounds, which are a special surplus of
ammo that deals less damage and has no wounding, embedding, or
penetrative power. Regular ammo can be purchased from cargo or
researched later, with special ammo also being available later.

Note that this does not replace the WT-550.

## FlatHead ammo


![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/81de4bdb-6fd6-4f23-a1b1-0af21e924c34)

Flathead ammo deals 18 brute damage (compared to the original 20), and 5
stamina damage per hit. It is extremely weak against armor, has no embed
chance, has virtually no wounding chance. It's perfect for cheap
corporate companies dealing with cheaper personnel. This is the type of
lethal ammo that security will use for the gun, unless someone speedruns
weapon research.


## Research Progression


![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/26b72a1c-ebda-439a-98c9-9dc3168e01bd)

### Basic WT-550/WT-551 Ammunition.
Flathead rounds and Rubber rounds for the WT-550/WT-551 can be
researched for 2500 points after unlocking the "Weapon Development
Technology" node.

### Advanced WT-550/WT-551 Ammunition.
Regular rounds and AP rounds for the WT-550/WT-551 can be researched can
be researched for 5000 points after unlocking the "Advanced Weapon
Development Technology" and "Basic WT-550/WT-551 Ammunition" nodes.

### Illegal WT-550/WT-551 Ammunition.
Incendiary rounds for the WT-550/WT-551 can be researched can be
researched for 7500 points after unlocking the "Illegal Technology",
"Exotic Ammo" , and "Advanced WT-550/WT-551 Ammunition" nodes.

### Syndicate Research

Removes the WT-550 ammo from syndicate research since it is now
redundant.

## Cargo


![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/a24e9df4-36e3-4368-b77a-cff06a42579f)

WT-551 rifles can be ordered in pairs (2) for the cost of a parrot, a
grilling starter pack, or a crab rocket (1600 credits). This value was
chosen because it is slightly higher than the thermal pistols, and the
traitor-ordered WT-550 rifle pack (which contains lethal ammo + spare
lethal ammo).

Additional FlatHead, Rubber, and Regular ammo can be ordered from cargo
as well.

Cargo techs no longer get WT-550s in the mail, but instead WT-551s (why
was this a thing holy shit).

## Armory


![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/e88a37af-2e4f-4b1c-bc25-b9bed9e41b91)

2 WT-551s can be found in the armory.
For balance purposes one (1) laser rifle was removed.

## I hate Skyrat so much holy shit


![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/b09eed34-77cd-4f37-8356-93688fec344e)

Unfucks the WT-550 ammo types by removing their dumb names and changed
caliber types.

Unfucks the WT-550 ammo in the ammo printer so that rubber rounds can be
printed at T0 and everything else (except incendiary rounds) can be
printed with the adv munitions disk.

The bullets for the WT-550 have been forcibly changed to /tg/ balance,
which means that any and all future Skyrat PRs cannot touch the damage
values for it (unless some fuckery occurs, idk).

## Why It's Good For The Game


![image](https://github.com/Bubberstation/Bubberstation/assets/8602857/395b9fa5-8380-46bc-96a7-06ce0931d8e7)


Security is in dire need of actual ballistics. /tg/ removed ballistics
from security because of reasons I legitimately don't think are valid.
It's also a huge balance concern for security not to have at least 1
ballistic weapon (other than the shotgun) because it doesn't stop antags
from hoarding laser immunity or meds.

Also guns are cool.

## Changelog

🆑 BurgerBB
add: Adds the WT-551 rifle, a redesign of the WT-550 rifle that is
balanced (citation needed) for security use.
add: Makes WT-550 ammo researchable and orderable from cargo. Removes
WT-550 ammo from syndicate research, and gives them their own
categories.
