What Does This PR Do

The compact sniper rifle available in the uplink is gone from the game. Its special magazine is gone too. Penetrator and nukie sniper rifles are untouched. Part of the stun removal project overseen by @hal9000PR

Why It's Good For The Game

This gun has a ten second stun on it. Despite this, it is also completely awful, has no niche, and functions solely as noob bait. For just SIXTEEN telecrystals, you can buy a four-shot weapon without any way of getting extra ammo, that does not even put its victim in crit in one shot, but stuns for ten seconds. So, a very bad, glorified lethal taser. Balancing this weapon is also hard, because it uses the same cartridge as the nukie and penetrator snipers - both perfectly fine weapons on their own. Making a special snowflake ammo type without the stun, just for the compact, would also make it a worse .357 revolver. Removing the stun from all .50 ammunition would be an unnecessary nukie nerf - their sniper rifle is probably an acceptable source of instant stuns, considering what it has to compete with and how it works.

This gun has no use or identity, and no one will miss it.

Changelog
