Citizen's Shotgun and Pistol Animations for RTE

Did anyone else who played through Black Mesa: Route to Evacuation find it weird that the player character, an analytical scientist, reloaded weapons like a firearm trained security guard?

To try and rectify this mismatch, I decided to port over Citizen's weapon animations for the pistol and shotgun to RTE's rig and weapon models. I feel like the amateurish touch they add to the weapons compliments the protagonist much better. I've also taken another note out of Citizen's book and slightly slowed the swing speed of the crowbar using script tweaks (you're a scientist, dammit! One would think it'd be slightly harder to swing a heavy crowbar at the speed of an HEV-suited theoretical physicist).

If Citizen ever makes a animation set for the revolver, I'll probably port that over as well (although the BM:BS reload animation for the revolver is not as out of place).
