Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
1. Increased the SuperShotgun's damage and delayed slightly its firing time.

2. Changed the Nailgun to a direct hit type weapon, it no longer
   shoots out nails, it hits instantly (like the chaingun in doom).

3. Increased the firing rate and amount of damage the SuperNailgun does.

4. Decreased the Lightning guns range by half, but doubled its damage.

5. All Quad Damage powerups are now Nailguns (Yea I know the Quad damage
   rules, but it can ruin the balance of the game in deathmatch).

6. All Pentagrams are now Lightning guns (This artifact sucked in DM)
