Novalite Rifle by @mrscratch

About the PR

Original description:

This adds the SW LLC's "Novalite C1" semi-auto rifle to the game. The concept was originally tossed around as a more legal means for Mercenaries/Miners/etc to have a better Mid-Tier weapon to protect themselves with.

After the recent community/staff decision to firmly uphold the automatic weapons ban after the recent... space law headaches... I was inspired to actually setup this fork and attempt to make the rifle myself with a new "theme" in mind.

It is essentially what you would get if you applied some of the strictest gun law loophole aftermarket modifications to a Lecter. It's auto sear has been replaced with a semi-automatic sear, removing it's ability to be fired in full auto. It has a "Featureless Grip" or "Shark Fin" which is used to skirt around pistol grip laws. It has an internally locked magazine that is reloaded by using a Break-Action Receiver which allows you to quickly access the locked magazine. It comes with a SW LLC patented "High Capacity Assault Clip" which can attach or detach from the locked magazine to quickly load ammunition.

Changes made to the original PR made by @mrscratch:

• This is updated to current master version.
• Cleaned up.
• Added sprites for wielded-inhand states made by Stagnation (discord).
• Integrated into expedition loot tables
• Replaced hostile mosin wielding mercenary mob with novalite wielding mob.

Why / Balance

From original PR:

Originally I just left it with the same stats as the Lecter except it is now Semi-Auto and has a 15 round "magazine". However to save future headaches I have lowered the rate of fire from 5 to 4. All Semi-Auto Pistols in the game currently have a firerate of 4-5 so for semi-automatic that seems to be the baseline.

How to test

use console command spawn WeaponCaseLongWeaponRifleNovaliteC1Expedition to obtain loaded rifle with 2 clips.
