Deployable Minigun Redux

Description
A remade version of my Deployable Minigun script, which replaces the explosive ammo upgrade with a deployable minigun, now with some extra bug fixes.

Hold reload and shove a minigun to pick it up. An ammo pack will then be added to your inventory. When you place the ammo pack, a new minigun will be spawned at its location. You can also find extra ammo packs to deploy more miniguns.

Advantages
+ Lets you put miniguns wherever the hell you want, I mean how cool is that?
+ Great for holding down a choke point
+ Can be picked up by shoving the gun, letting you redeploy it in a better location
+ The formerly near useless explosive ammo now has a reason to be carried instead of a medkit
+ Has a custom texture to show that it's a minigun
+ You can pick up existing 50.Cal guns and move them around
+ Bots can no longer pick up miniguns
+ Picking up a minigun while you already have an ammo pack in your inventory will drop the pack on the ground instead of deleting it
+ Miniguns can't be accidentally picked up since you need to hold reload as you shove

Disadvantages
- NONE
- Except that you can't use explosive ammo with this mod enabled

Redux is a word in the english language meaning "brought back: revived". I used that in the title because this is a remake of one of my mods, with some extra features added, as it says in the first 2 words of the description.

Isn't Redux a MAP CREATOR?

If you were using it for troubleshooting, wouldn't you disable other scripts to reduce the chances of conflicts, etc?

I use it often for troubleshooting other scripts but this error is long and can occasionally take up the whole console if anyone has their shove touch a model.

how much of an impact does it have on gameplay if the console is full of errors

I still get an error spam when shoving objects like a wall that aren't the turret while not holding R. I've never seemed to have a problem with the errors causing anything but I'm wondering if it's possible this could be fixed to only do this when holding R so the console is cleared up.

The script will work in coop. Other players won't see the custom texture unless they have the mod

this works in co-op right
