Small Arms - Rework

For testing, but everything should work fine.

This mod is intended for use with other mods, which operate at higher ranges.

This mod is NOT compatible with other mods that change vanilla small arms.

- Range adjustments
- Recoil/kick adjusted to enhance combat
- Damage output is specialized
- Construction cost/time is adjusted
- Additional ammo type
- Scaling in relation to the env. was considered
- Data is altered to account for future weaponry
- Choice of weaponry and ammo is meaningful

Values below are for Assembler efficiency x3.

Small Arms - Requirements - Construction Time
AutomaticRifleGun - 2.33 Fe, 0.33 Ni, 0.33 Si - 1s
PreciseAutomaticRifleGun - 1 Fe, 0.33 Ni, 0.33 Co, 0.33 Si, 2 Ag - 12s
RapidFireAutomaticRifleGun - 1 Fe, 0.33 Ni, 0.33 Co, 0.33 Si, 1.67 Mg - 12s
UltimateAutomaticRifleGun - 1 Fe, 0.17 Au, 0.83 Pt, 0.33 Co, 0.33 Si, 2 Ag - 45s

Small Arms Ammo - Bullets/mag - Requirements - Construction Time
5.56mm NATO STANAG magazine - 30 - 0.09 Fe, 0.7 Ni, 0.08 Mg - 10s
5.56x45mm NATO APIT magazine - 30 - 0.09 Fe, 0.3 Ni, 0.3 Ag, 0.14 Mg, 0.17 Gravel - 17s
11.63x40mm NATO STANAG magazine - 10 - 0.20 Fe, 0.07 Ni, 0.10 Mg - 18s

Special base metals and alloys (e.g. tungsten, titanium, and nickel silver) must also be created from ingots and gravel for all AP munitions. Some incendiary tracers take longer to create as the assembler's normal use is not refining and creating specialized oxiders and stabalizers (e.g. potassium, barium, strontium, and aluminum).

Damage output is dependent on the shooter's angle, target type, ammo and the gun used.

Small Arms - Requirements - Burst Fire - RoF - Overview
AutomaticRifleGun - 5.56x45mm - N/A - 700 - Operates different than vanilla, quite nice.
PreciseAutomaticRifleGun - 5.56x45mm - N/A - 600 - Very accurate, my personal favorite.
RapidFireAutomaticRifleGun - 5.56x45mm - N/A - 900 - Spray and pray. Best of luck.
UltimateAutomaticRifleGun - 11.63x40mm - N/A - 800 - Most damage to players and armor.

Small Arms Ammo - Velocity - Range
5.56x45mm NATO STANAG magazine - 880m/s - 1000m
5.56x45mm NATO APIT magazine - 785m/s - 1000m
11.63x40mm NATO STANAG magazine - 655m/s - 600m

All "NATO STANAG" includes the vanilla incendiary/tracer characteristics.

Note: Vanilla ammo is not armor piercing now, you have to create the APIT separately.
Small arms tracers are more difficult to see compared to large arms fire.

Suggested Uses of APIT:
For your last ammo mag -- umph you're running out!
Warning shots/ scaring foes, you'd prefer to not engage immediately.
To better see where you are shooting. Works well at night or in space.
Engaging small vehicles when you are not using the ultimate rifle.

This mod is In DEVELOPMENT, and may be in an incomplete state.

Changes may occur to this mod periodically, based on feedback and testing.
