OBO: Pistols Rebalance script UPDATED

OBO, pronounced "oboe" (yes, like the instrument), stands for "Overall Balance Overhaul."

This is yet another script that upgrades the Pistols, and hopefully the most balanced. See, the issue was that my 9mm Hollow Point script couldn't pierce, and my Five-seveN script couldn't gib. At the same time, I didn't want to make this mod OP by combining gibbing, piercing, and high damage. Eventually, I settled on this. A middle ground compromise of everything, and should be perfect for those who found my other two scripts too powerful or too un-vanilla (with their larger magazines and such).

This script has the vanilla ammo capacity of 15 (like many real-world 9mm pistols) and pierces the original number of enemies, with tweaked damage and a slew of other little edits. It is aimed at clearing ambient Commons and hordes, with an emphasis on higher mobile-accuracy than most primaries but lower killing power.

The result is a more stark difference in role between the Pistols and the Desert Eagle, allowing each to have its niche. You'll need to choose wisely bewteen the Common-handling of the Pistols or the special-getting and light sniping of the Desert Eagle. Thus, matching your secondary up with your primary is given more focus. Eg, Desert Eagles go well with short-range shotguns or other weapons that aren't good against Specials, and Pistols go well with Snipers (especially bolt-action ones) or any gun that can't effectively deal with hordes. Strategy! Delicious strategy!

I got them randomly off the internet. I claim nothing. If need be, I'll replace them with something generic from Wikipedia or something.
