Actual Shotguns B18

Description
I'm not updating this mod. A superior mod doing the same thing for B19 is located here.

Makes it so shotguns fire more than one projectile at once. Potential damage output remains roughly the same potentially higher if every pellet hits. Both shotguns have had their ranges buffed (pump: 16 -> 20, chain: 9 -> 16), and the chain shotgun now has a higher fire rate.

Inspired by Buckshot Shotgun, but this mod applies the same changes to the vanilla shotguns instead of adding a new one.

No known incompatibilities. Modified shotguns use a new projectile so mods which reuse the normal shotgun projectile are unaffected.

Known issues:
- Shotguns sometimes make multiple gunshot sounds when firing, especially on lower game speeds. This is a consequence of XML editing, and cannot be fixed without assemblies, which I'm not planning on doing.
- In the same vein, there are multiple entries per shot in the combat log.

@the infamous spider fucker There's nothing I can do about that. This is literally only an XML mod, something else must be interfering with actual code to break AI in that way. If you get any console errors, put them here, otherwise all I can say is to verify game files and reinstall if necessary.

welp you see im not really sure whats the problem. but ill try.... so upon picking a shotgun with this mod enabled, that colonist will appear to be "idle" even tho theres tons of stuff for it to do. and no he was not drafted. i cant force him to do anything, so i tried to draft him and make him shoot at something. did nothing. upon dropping the shotgun, everything was back to normal. im not using any other mods than a silly oof death sound, edb prepare carefully, and expanded prostethics and organ engineering.

@the infamous spider fucker You're gonna have to give me more details. There's no way this mod affects AI, the only thing this does is make shotguns burst-fire using vanilla mechanics, just with a period of 0 ticks between shots.

the shotgun now completely breaks the colonist's AI who wield the weapon. pls fix.

@redfire1200 You would be correct. However, AFAIK this functionality is implemented in CE already.

im take a guess and say it doesnt work with CE

Seems like I'll use shotguns now, they where pretty useless before

@Sillls The combat shotgun is supposed to have shorter warmup and cooldown times, but these don't seem to have much of an effect in game. It does fire 10 pellets though, as you noted, versus the pump shotgun's 8.

It's an inprovment over the original shotguns.
The pump action does well.
While the attomatic one seems to have the same rate of fire, it just spits out more pellets per shot.

The combat shotgun is the best becaue it seems to combine the effects while keeping the shotgun sound to it.

@Sky_Guy: Probably, but at that point you'd also be taking a similar hit from a smaller number of mechanoids equipped with miniguns, which are in the vanilla game. I wouldn't worry about it.
