Tweaks Service Pistol stats

[Rukofamicom]

About The Pull Request

• Mag size 10 -> 12
• Magazine sprite tweak to match new capacity
• Burn per shot 10 -> 11
• Extra magazine in every head locker (HoS had to lose box of flashbangs for this)

Why It's Good For The Game

Service pistol aimed to be a minor improvement over the PTSD but failed to accomplish this by being substantially weaker both as a stun weapon and as a lethal weapon. The tweaked stats mentioned above allow the service pistol to:

• Have the same number of shots as PTSD did in disabler mode, while having a hybrid damage split that makes them weaker as a disabler
• Have an extra clip available to make the overall output actually higher than PTSD, instead of roughly the same. Still substantially lower DPS than other energy weapons
• Have just a little more oomph when it comes to the lethal output vs simplemobs and such.

I originally added a light overlay but I cba to fix the fact they don't work with non-energy pistols.

I like how the new hybrid damage type plays out, but I do think this would still be cooler if the magazines were slowly self-charging

The slow self-recharge feature was so slow it was painful. Missed all your shots? Now you got to wait for 10 whole minutes for it to recharge! That's what it feels like at least. It was really painful.

Stamian damage should be strictly lower than the stamina damage output of the disabler. All other things like increased ammo are fine, I was planning to put rechargers back in the heads offices.

[PowerfulBacon]

I'd rather the DPS be lower and they be given backup clips or the capability to recharge instead.

[Rukofamicom]

One extra magazine has been added to each locker. I still don't like the idea of being able to create or order additional mags personally, but if it's limited to a single one for heads it should be fine.

Well fuck
Now the HoS locker is overloaded.

Maybe you could remove the flashbang box instead of the telescopic shield? I don't think I've seen anyone take the flashbang box and the riot shield is very useful.

[Rukofamicom]

That was my other choice and Bacon agrees.

Both flashbangs and riot shields are available in the rest of sec, so the swap is inconsequential to me.

Seems good
