Repeater Rifle Recovery and Rework (Repeater rifles for Amethyst Ironsides and Ironsides + tweaks to all repeater rifles)

Hi all- this as an alternative version of my repeater rifle recovery mod. In the original, I simply used the Ironside projectile weapon tables that were left over from the previous version of the game. However, I thought that they didn't "feel" quite right so I decided to mess with some settings until I was happy with them (I originally did this for personal use, but figured I'd post it in case anyone was interested).

In short, I have added some spread to and slightly reduced the damage of all repeater rifle projectiles on the Empire roster. To compensate, I also gave all repeater rifle projectiles a shockwave radius (wider hitbox basically). The shots now end up being more spread out and individually do a bit less damage but have a higher chance of hitting things and can possibly hit multiple models (I think).

Repeaters are now slightly better against multiple entity units and slightly worse against single entities. They are far more visually satisfying to use (To me anyway). Now, all of the bullets don't turn into a single death laser they way they used to, so they feel more like an actual burst-firing repeater rifle.

I've been playing with these changes since launch, including a lot of small scale playtesting in skirmish battles. These Ironsides seem very balanced now to the point where they should be fair in multiplayer if people want to face off. If anything, they could maybe use 1 more point of ap damage but I'm leaning on the side of caution- I really don't want them to be broken, I just want the empire to have cool repeater rifle infantry like they were originally supposed to (They can still become absolutely busted when they get a bunch of buffs in campaign though).

You do not need the original version of the mod to use this (Actually, I think it would crash the game).
