Men and women of the Imperial Guard! Have you ever wanted a more efficient way to bring the light of The Emperor to foul heretics, xenos, and servants of the Ruinous Powers? Ever wanted to show those Chaos space marines what a bunch of "flashlights" can do to them?

Introducing the re-made, re-tweaked, re-armed series of Lasguns, in your choice of two colors, in both standard and hotshot varieties. That's four times as much freedom as the Departmento Munitorum is authorized to give you. And for the discerning commissar, now including a laspistol and hotshot laspistol!

Featuring:
* Gave the weapons proper spawn icons and weapon select icons, and renamed the hellguns. Because fluffiness.
* Lasgun magazine capacity increased to 80 shots. Hotshot lasguns drain 2 rounds per shot. Laspistols both have 20 shots.
* Rate of fire shuffled around, generally somewhat fast-firing.
* Firepower beefed up enough to be reliably lethal to citizen-type NPCs, on a center mass hit. Hotshot lasguns are beefed up further, doing the same to a Combine soldier. Pistols have the same level of firepower as their rifle equivalent, but have less accuracy.
* Iron sight positioning adjusted to make it actually usable. You are not an Ork.
* Finally solved that damned "ejecting brass" issue that the original versions had.
* Altered the beam effect to fade away somewhat faster, reducing visual desync of the laser effect.
* Fixed a minor error message that resulted from a duplicated line in the lasgun's .VMT data.
* The lasguns are selective-fire, and can be toggled to/from semi-auto and full-auto with Use + Secondary Fire. Changed it so changing fire mode prints a message, and documented this ability in the weapon select's "instructions" section. Laspistols remain semi-auto only.
* Fixed useless series of clicks when attempting to fire on an empty magazine. Doing this will instead trigger a reload, if possible.
* Ported over the ability to lower the weapon using Use + Primary Fire used by the Bolter SWEP.

Bugs and Other Oddities:

* Laser desync still happens, especially while sprinting. No real easy way to fix it far as I can tell, and decided that a minor visual fix wasn't worth disabling the ability to fire on the move.
* No fancy kill icon, despite having been able to add in a spawn icon and weapon select icon.
* Laser effect can occasionally appear to clip through terrain in the event of a near-miss.
* Laspistols use a noticeably lower-res model ripped for DoW, I've so far been unable to replace it with a better model. Help would be appreciated in that regard.
