OBOW: Rifle, Desert / Combat - SCAR-L Gritty Realism script

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

This is a script that completely rebalances the SCAR Assault Rifle, making it work like real life. It now only has a standard 30-round STANAG magazine, but has had its other stats upgraded to maintain balance. For example, damage has been vastly raised for various reasons, one being so you'll still have a chance against Tanks with your smaller magazine. Piercing has been increased too, so that crowd-control is still doable. The only real issue you'll have is that you'll really need to be careful with your limited ammo, as a couple of misses or inefficiently-aimed shots can get you overwhelmed. All changes are listed below, for your convenience.

Here's the list of stat changes:
