RWWB : Vanilla-friendly Weapons Expansion
A few tweaks here and there to bring the Vanilla-friendly weapons expansion in line with the RWWB project.
It's refreshing to see a weapons mod that has some self restraint. Most of the weapons in this mod are actually very on par with vanilla. Or weaker, the only exception being the fifty cal rifle. Good mod!
Here's some patch notes for the changes I've made.

*So, the guided pulse SMG is a weird one, and it might be OP with these changes? I'm not sure how to account for the 50% accuracy modifier, or the -20% aiming delay, these aren't exactly static modifiers, and I'm not sure how Rimworld calculates these attributes.
Of all the weapons I've documented, the Guided Pulse SMG is the only one to use these modifiers, so I've got nothiong to compare it to. I've attempted to adjust its CR to take these into account, but I'm afraid the weighting I've given them is either too much or too little, only in-game performance/testing will really say.
The Guided Pulse SMG is also balanced as a tier 3 weapon, or CCR (Spacer, on par with the charge rifle)
Give me some feedback from your experiences with this weapon and I'll adjust how heavily weighted aim time and accuracy modifers are in my calculations.
