Balanced Laser & Death Ray (Replacement)

"You're about to be 4 times more dead than you were before!" ~ Sam Stone probably...

Welp, this is my first attempt at making a mod so don't expect it to be perfect. The goal is to make the infamous laser rifle + death ray combo more balanced as a late game power weapon. So, what's been changed?

Laser Rifle Tweaks:
- Weapon pickup gives 100 ammo instead of 20
- New Netricsa tip!
- Max & Min damage is set to 40
- Enabled a feature that locks alternate fire until heat meter is filled all the way up
- Reduced heat meter from 50 to 25 (heat meter fills faster)
- Changed time to cool down from 0.5 to 0.1 (heat depletes as soon as the trigger is released so keep chucking plasma down range!)
- Changed Overheat sound to be the same as in Siberian Mayhem
- Overheat Sound starts sooner to coincide with the quicker Death Ray charging

Death Ray Tweaks:
- Upgrade pickup name changed from Death Ray to SX5 Sirian Power Gun
- New Netricsa description!
- Range reduced from 150 to 65
- Damage reduced from 50 to 40 (now on par with laser rifle's damage, slightly longer Time to Kill on large threats)
- Damage radius increased from 1 to 1.5
- Ammo consumption decreased from 2 to 1 (can now fire a bit longer)

The long short of it is the laser rifle's been buffed and the death ray's been slightly nerfed. This will hopefully ensure the death ray can't just outshine every other gun in the game and will create better synergy between the two. Best practice is to hold down the primary fire key and tap the secondary fire key to let off the death ray when overwhelmed.
