New guns!

[paintballdude956]

On Wednesday, August 6th, I released 12 new guns. The complete list and their stats can be found here http://pastebin.com/REea9pVJ

Let me start out by saying this: if you're super rich/have a Navy, you probably won't be terribly interested in most of these guns. I only consider Scorpion tier 3.

I grouped these guns into three places: regular shop, a brand-new gang points shop (in the old gang armory at unstick me), and the EC shop. Let me clarify that all of these guns are permanent: they don't disappear after a week like the old guns in the 'p' menu.

The three shops are my attempt at giving newer players a lot of ways to play the game. They can earn ECs by playing events, they can earn points by PKing, or they can buy the guns traditionally.

You may have also noticed that these guns, especially the ones in the EC/gang shop, are rather good for their comparative cost (consider that the scorpion is only 5000 points-- 250k, but is only slightly worse to a Souizen at ~500k shop). The reason behind this is two-fold.
First, because these guns are in unlimited quantity (besides S&W and Scorpion), I expect their street prices to be low eventually. Additionally, they are not pawnable. These guns are not really meant as long-term investment pieces. They're meant as PK-stepping stones instead of economic-stepping stones.
Second, I received a lot of complaint that my changes/releases thus far had "catered to the rich," and I agree. In fact, I agree that a lot of releases cater to the rich when in comes to guns. That's because it's really easy to make guns in higher tiers and at the top tier, but really difficult to make guns at middle/low tier without being redundant. I did my absolute best to give these guns a niche without making them blatantly overpowered- notice the .05 freeze guns at low/mid price range for how I tried to do it.
Without a doubt, some people will find a few of my releases to be very similar to current weapons. My predecessor found redundancy to be something to be avoided at all costs. I, on the other hand, see absolutely no reason to avoid it. Frivolous content? Perhaps. But look at gunskins; people go nuts for them. Slap on a new gani and SFX, and hopefully we'll get the same enthusiasm.

Anyway, open for suggestions, as always. The stats are pretty much set-in-stone by now, so please don't barrage me with buff-requests. In my mind, none of these guns except for the Scorpion are Tier 3, so don't expect that when you buy them.

**NOTE
Gunskins will be enabled for them probably in a week. It takes a fair amount of busy-work to do. Submit your skins in the meantime, if you want: it's nice to have things to test the system with.
