New bolt pistol model by Quinnjdq, hexed and hosted by Twister980 here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=125441161

Space marines! Have you ever wished you had more firepower? Do your bolters feel more like autoguns? Or worse, lasguns? Not enough armor-piercing explosions for your taste? Wish you had ordinance that could do more than mildly annoy a carnifex?

Well I've got just the thing for you. Introducing the re-made, re-tweaked, re-armed Bolter! Featuring:

* Three weapons currently included, a standard bolter, a storm bolter, and a bolt pistol. All bring the fear of the Emperor to the enemies of the Imperium, with the bolters offering selective-fire capability and full-size magazines, with twice the firepower in the case of storm bolters!
* Functional iron sights, re-aligned to actually match up with your point of aim. You're not an ork, so don't aim like one!
* Explosive impact effects, guaranteed to send the enemies of The Imperium running for cover! And as a bonus...
* Explosive impact effects actually DO something. Want to shoot down that xenos gunship or tripedial war machine? Don't reach for a flashlight, reach for a REAL weapon! Near-misses shall not save your foe.
* Fear not the power of your bolter, for bolter shells have a minimum arming distance.
* CHARGE the enemies of man, bolter fire blazing across the battlefield!

Translation from Imperium-speak: A tweaked version of Steven's bolter and bolt pistols SWEPs, with rebalanced firepower. Gave them a more visually impressive effect via changing the tracer, and added code to generate an explosion if the impact is a certain minimum distance away from you. It also now lets you reload even if a canned animation isn't finished yet, and you can fire while running (though this disables aiming).

Also eventually revived the distinction between the standard bolter and the storm-bolter, with the latter having 60-round magazines and twice the rate of fire, at the expense of accuracy.

The bolt pistol also uses a newer, better-looking model, as the original model seemed very glossy and low-res compared to the bolter's model.

The radius effect is able to damage Striders, Gunships, and certain other bulletproof NPCs. Basically everything except choppers and dropships, which seem to be immune to explosions outright.

Bugs and Other Oddities:

* Certain bulletproof NPCs remain unaffected by this weapon, mainly Hunter-Choppers and Combine Dropships.
* No fancy kill icon, despite having been able to add in a spawn icon and weapon select icon.
