necromanceranne d28c4d7588 Replaces the surplus rifle from the gang mode era with the Sakhno SKS semi-automatic rifle (#89453)
## About The Pull Request

No. Not the Sakhno M2442 Army. It isn't the Sakhno Precision Rifle. I'm
talking about the dinky shitty rifle you find in the snow resort away
mission. The one with a 3 second cooldown between shots and fires 10mm.

The Sakhno SKS semi-automatic rifle fires at the same rate as standard
semi-automatic weapons, and fires .310 Strilka caseless rounds. It has a
x0.5 damage multiplier (so does 30 damage rather than 60 damage per
shot), and has 10 rounds in its internal magazine. Stripper clips come
in sets of 5, so you'll need two clips to fully load the rifle.

You can get the Chekhov version of the weapon from the resort, but you
can also acquire a parts kit from the black market. Put together with a
stock and receiver, you get yourself a (empty) fresh new SKS. You can
also acquire the ammo via the black market as well.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This gun is a travesty. It is so ancient that it can be carbon dated to
around when our codebase was moved to Github. It actively has the worst
statistic of any weapon in the game. And it exists in this strange
half-existence in a ruin as, I guess, some purpose that is barely
understood or remembered today.

The irony of it being called Chekhov's gun yet finding no functional use
in the map is either the joke itself, or a failing of the map.

Anyway, so I decided to go all out and replace it with an SKS. Because I
figured someone would like that.
