## About The Pull Request  Adds the .38 Flare. It does 20 damage. This round highlights the target for 2 minutes, and projectiles hitting the target always hit the limb that the shooter was aiming at. Your shot has effectively perfect limb accuracy, no matter how far the bullet needs to travel. This also affects other projectiles hitting the target that aren't the .38 Flare. To indicate whether or not a round in a magazine is either lead or laser, I've borrowed the implementation of ammo overlays from the C-20r toy magazines Now each bullet in the speedloaders for .38 can be a distinct type visibly. Might be interesting if anyone wants to add additional unique appearances for some of the other .38 rounds. Reduces the overall cost of a lot of the ammunition in the sec and autolathe, such as loose bullets. Also reduces the material quantity within bullet casings. ## Why It's Good For The Game > .38 Flare By popular demand, I've come up with a new idea. And that idea...is an anti-bullet deviation tool. Most players are probably not conscious of bullet deviation. But if you're familiar with the mechanic, it's why sometimes your shots may hit into an arm or a leg even though you were aiming at the head. The way this works is that over the course of a bullets flight, it increases in inaccuracy and the pobability of drifting into a limb. From my last estimate, shooting somewhere around 5 tiles away will usually result in bullet drift. While affected by the flare shot, that does not happen. You shoot at the head, you hit the head. To put it into perspective; you could consider bullet deviation a form of damage loss (its a bit more complicated than this and there are instances where it is positive), and this projectile eliminates that problem for everyone shooting the target. > Ammo cost Some of these were pretty excessive for the cost, and a notable example of this include the .357 loose casings, .310 Surplus loose casings, and most shotgun shells. These should go down to roughly below 3/5th of a sheet of metal when printed from a fully upgraded lathe. Meanwhile, a single bullet casing was like a sheet of metal each, which didn't seem right to me. So they're now by default one fifth of a sheet of metal on recycle. ## Changelog 🆑 add: .38 Flare, a laser bullet! Available in both .38 speedloader and BR-38 magazine once Advanced Beam Weaponry is researched. add: .38 Flare highlights the target in an outline and makes sure your bullets never accidentally hit any limb except the one you are aiming at. Never accidentally hit someone in the arm when you were going for a headshot. balance: Reduces the printing costs of several ammunition types from the autolathe and security lathe. Reduces the overall material contents of said printed ammo/magazines. If you find a material dupe, let a coder know. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: projectkepler-RU <99981766+projectkepler-ru@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Time-Green <7501474+Time-Green@users.noreply.github.com>
