BDC Gattler: Rapid fire crossbow

This mod adds a extremely high fire rate, low power crossbow named 'BDC Gattler' or more commonly known as just 'The Gattler'

this weapon is extremely weak against anyone wearing any amount of armor, has trash accuracy, and is extremely likely to end up shooting your allies in the back, but there is a benefit! if firing against completely unarmored foes, due to the low projectile speed, it causes rather nasty bleeding wounds, though i would still recommend a better crossbow with actual range...

Now to get serious: the idea behind this weapon is that because of it's low accuracy, it's likely to hit your allies in the back, but due to it's low damage, this isn't a problem. i made this crossbow because i want to train my crossbow users to NOT shoot their friends in the back, but other crossbows just fire too slow to my liking to train up said skill.

this mod adds:
BDC Gattler (crossbow)
(can be stored in a normal crossbow container)
Improv Gattler Bolts (ammo)
(bolts can be stored in a normal boltbox)

HOW TO OBTAIN:
the gattler and the bolts for it are unlocked by researching normal crossbow crafting and normal bolt crafting, from there you can craft it at acrossbow crafty table, the bolts can be made at the arrow crafting table, which i find weird, because there's no arrows in this game, only bolts, but whatever.

Each bolt item contains 100 bolts, and they weigh 2,6kg. The average weight of a normal real life bolt is supposedly 26 gramms-ish, so that's why. they also stack to 3 in your inventory.

the bolts and the crossbow are made with copper alloy playes, because of how light weight they are, might be a bit of a chore, but it's not like those are actually hard to get.

making the bolts can turn you a profit, as the bolts are worth more than the crafting materials.

i will not be adding these crossbows to enemies, because they fire so fast, you wouldn't be able to get close to them at all to kill them. when there's a group of dust bandits with normal crossbows, they often fire fast enough as-is to make it REALLY hard to get close to any of them, and with these crossbows, that'd be a nightmare.
good toughness training though... i guess....

anyway, if you got questions or requests for more BDC items, let me know, ill see if it tickles my fancy.

just a little FYI: official BDC items will NEVER be craftable in any mod i make, BDC only produces top quality items, which would make them heavily overpowered if you could just craft them. this crossbow isn't an official BDC item, it's a BDC TOY that was altered by people into a weapon, hence why it's craftable, and also really ♥♥♥♥.
good for bullying bandits though, if you get a squad to use these.
