OBOW: Hunting Rifle - 15-round balance script

OBOW: Pronounced "oboe" (yes, like the instrument), it stands for "Overseer's Balance Overhaul for Weapons".

This is a script that rebalances the Hunting Rifle, aimed at making it a viable option alongside the Military Sniper. This particular script gives the Hunting Rifle a 15-round magazine, and it's recommended that you either use a weapon from the Workshop that matches this (such as an M1 Carbine, or something like that), or to use the vanilla Hunting Rifle. Why make these edits? There are only a handful of weapons in Left 4 Dead 2, and while using the Counter-Strike Weapons Unlocker Mod (Highly recommended!) helps to alleviate weapon repetitiveness, it's still a problem for me on occasion. So, I had an idea. What if I made the "weak" weapons not so weak anymore? I could actually increase the total amount of usable weapons without needing new ones.

Thus, I made this. A fifteen-round rebalance alongside my other Hunting Rifle rebalance mods (just search "OBOW"), so that you, the end user, has some choice of what to use. NOTE: This weapon is not just a altered-magazine version of my other Hunting Rifle scripts. It has its own balanced stats, upsides, and downsides.

A note on the preview screenshot:
Disclaimer: I got it randomly off the internet. I am not its author, and I don't claim to own it. If need be, I'll replace it with something generic from Wikipedia or something. It is not my intention to steal anything. I've seen other Workshop mods (and in the Left 4 Dead 2 Workshop, specifically) that use copyright images, but I don't believe in the philosophy of "It's okay because everyone does it". Thus, I made this disclaimer.
