Weapons Balancing (Challenge)

Description
Rifles & autogun have now more dmg, but dps is still lower than minigun to not make it obsolete.
Twin pistols 3 hits to kill drone.
Shotgun can kill up to 7 drones in one shot, if you manage to hit them.
Laser mines and Hand Grenades one shot shieldbugs & everything else.
Railgun and Sniper Rilfe one shot small aliens.
Stronger gas grenade, hornet, smart bomb. These do less friendly fire too. Possible to pass gas which takes out around half of HP from marine.

Feel free to use this as a base for your weapon balance mod.

All challenges enable two sided hordes if number of marines > 5.
