About The Pull Request
Makes some small fixes on the Pepperball gun, which is adding them to the sec vendors in a small amount, properly adding their ammo boxes to the sec tech so they work in the protolathe, incresing the ammo box amount by 3 so its enough for what was intended, two magazines and its weapon load, and improving the description of magazines and ammo box.
Introduces the P207, a non lethal ballistic based gun, which shoots extremely dense rubber like balls that bounce everywhere and impact the target non lethaly. It has the same kind of damage output of a disabler (slightly slower), and trades shooting through glasses and its energy based armor for bouncing off surfaces and ballistic armor (which is more predominant), the weapon is the same size as a pepperbal gun, its obtainable both from cargo and the security vendors, with ammo being obtainable from autolathes and sec protolathes, at the cost of 3 iron and 3 plastic.
Ideally this gun add will be a good example of how to add new guns into the game and how some of the features work.
A known issue for now is that since the system for racking guns changed, we still have to readapt the unracked pistol.

Lower cases ammo boxes
How This Contributes To The Nova Sector Roleplay Experience
A somewhat viable purely non lethal option, that security does not depend on cargo to obtain, and the crew can still gets, with quirks that can be detrimental or positive when used like its highly bouncyness, but since it does no collateral much more acceptable to use. In the testing stages it felt really fun to use, and hopefully will enhance the experience during gameplay as well as provide more options for capture.
Also, fixing the pepperguns a bit and making them available to sec even if its on a reduced number felt consistent, which is good for the game.

Changelog
🆑 OrbisAnima
add: Added the new P207 to both cargo sol imports and security vendors, its a completly non lethal pistol that shoots bouncy balls that are more effective against armor than the usual rubber ammunition, comparable to regular ammo. It's ammo its easy enough to produce that autolathes and sec lathes can print it out from start.
qol: Added two pepperball guns to security vendors along with its ammo, increased how much the ammo box holds to 18 and fixed the issue that prevented it from being printable on the sec lathe.
fix: Lower cases the text of ammo boxes to be consistent.
