[BALANCE][INPUT]

About the PR
Rebalances kinetic firearm melee in the range of 6-15 damage.

Why's this needed?
Some weapons were weird outliers doing 30 damage, others were doing less than a punch.
Now weapons are mostly standardised to:
Pistol: 6 damage (punch equivalent)
Revolver/SMG: 8 damage
Two handed: 12 damage
Real Big Stuff : 15 damage

AK was scary with 30 blunt damage man, I could literally beat a space yeti or bear to death with it instead of even bothering to shoot it, I support these being more consistent. The AK could literally crit someone in like 3-4 hits if they were low or not armored.

As well as things like a 1 handed spes-12 doing 18 damage for some reason while a 2 handed pulse rifle does 5 i think this change is good.

You have to think of the rarity of the ammo as well for how strong they are.

You have to think of the rarity of the ammo as well for how strong they are.

See, I feel like that should be related to only the projectile damage. Melee damage should be consistent with expectations. If we want to increase melee damage a weapon does, it's design should reflect that.

For instance, guns with bayonets

Ohh shit.
My bad Frank. I completely blanked on the title of the thread saying MELEE. Ignore what I said. This is probably a good PR.
