XM43E1 in regular gameplay

[Releasethesea]

About the pull request

this pull request is an attempt to get the XM43E1 into normal gameplay as a side grade to the sniper, the XM43E1 is a sniper which main quirk is the ability to shoot through walls, i wanted to see it used in gameplay for a long while now since i fixxed it up previously, ive toned down the damage output greatly to be about the same as a normal sniper, compared to the normal sniper (M42A) it takes longer to kill aswell as more shots on some xenos a example of which is taking 1 aimed shot to kill a lesser drone with the M42 while the XM43 takes two. the rifle does very similar damage to the M42, the main feature of it being the ability to pierce xenos, which is why the damage is so similar

if i messed up anything in this PR PLEASE tell me and ill try to fix it, this is my first time making such a big project

Explain why it's good for the game

variety is good for gameplay i think so having the sniper be able to choose between the XM43 and the M42A would really help with keeping the gameplay cycle fresh

editing this due to forgetting to add some stuff! the rifle does low damage due to it having piercing! by this i mean it goes through xenos even when aimed shotting, which is also the reason behind it lacking night vision goggles

Kaga's version of the rifle is merged. If you want to tweak that version further you'll need to resolve conflicts. But otherwise I recommend finding a niche with your armor as an additional option for the sniper to opt to use.
