About the pull request
okey this is basicly copy of my suggested buff from more then a year ago, but now it is a nerf. Main complain on why the GAU is so OP and strong is its spreat ( that used to be the reason why it was so weak and shit). Therfore, lets do some math. Current situation is that the GAU fires 80 rounds per burst at area of 81 tiles( 9x9) ~0,988 round per tile, the proposed change aims the keep the damage on anyone standing in the impact area about the same ( it is a bit lower might need compensation with bringing the damage to pre double bullet values) , by bringing down the impact area to 49 tiles (7x7) and lowering the number of shots fired to 40, we get value of ~0,816 round per tile. meanwhile it keeps the rest like how long the bursts last the just as long.
(#4302 the old "buff")
Explain why it's good for the game
Making two bullets per bullet was not a bad idea in general, it brought the DPS on competetive level with other weapons, but the huge spread leads to too big compared to other ordinance. Bringing it in line with other ordinance should allow for easier CAS balance around smaller impact FMs.
