Just Fire The Dang Thing! (WOTC) (WSR)

This mod is an attempt at speeding up the firing animations for XCOM's plasma weapons to make them fire as quickly as conventional tiered weapons.
The way this was done is somewhat crude, as most weapons will be missing their fancy particles, spinning parts and have inconsistent muzzle flashes (Unlike Faster Firing Animation for the Beam Vektor Rifle by Veehementia).

Weapons affected + notes: (Check the attached video for previews of each weapon)

-Plasma Rifle
Uses CV Assault Rifle animations, missing animations and beam fires from tip of the rifle (Like the Spectre's rifle)

-Storm Gun
Uses MG Shotgun anims, beam exits from tip of gun, but is a lot snappier and the recoil doesn't look too off

-Beam Cannon
Uses CV Cannon anims, very inconsistent muzzle flash and no animations, magazine also sticks out the side of the gun which I guess looks cool

-Beam Pistol
Uses MG Pistol anims, a bit weird seeing a beam weapon with recoil, but looks infinitely better when using faceoff against a lost horde

-Elerium Phase-Cannon
Uses CV Spark Rifle anims, inconsistent muzzle flash, no sounds, doesn't look all that great, but it at least fires much faster

-Kal-90 Bullpup
Uses CV Bullpup anims, no animations but barely noticeable, feels a lot better overall (Even restores the soldier's facial animations when firing, which were absent in the plasma tier)

-Beam Autopistol
Uses MG Autopistol anims, no animations but barely noticeable, looks a lot better than before

-Powered Shadowkeeper
Same as the Beam Pistol, has recoil but retains its hammer animation when firing

-Scramgun (LW2 SMGs)
Uses CV SMG anims, which are the same as the assault rifle animations

This mod does NOT:
Change any weapon stats (All changes are cosmetic)
Speed up firing animations for alien weapons (unfortunately...)
Remove the dreadful twitch whenever someone misses that's been there since day 1
Make Rangers pump their shotgun faster by removing their 1.5 second thousand yard stare after they fire
Affect the Plasma Lance (Snipers fire at the same speed across all tiers)
Affect the Shadow Lance (Use the required mod by Veheementia instead)

Thanks to Iridar for making WSR and Veehementia for covering the plasma (and laser) vektor rifle!
