Buffing the gunbot respawn antag
#1
Question 
Thoughts on gunbots that you can get as random antag respawn.

I like them as an idea but they feel quite weak. Players don't really antag with them half the time due to being so weak.

They come with a rubber slug shotgun and 38 revolver. From what I can tell of the code the shotgun is like being hit with a blunt melee weapon (for 24 damage which would be high for a melee weapon, reduces with range) with a chance of knock back and it should stagger on hit. These weapons are underwhelming with the huge reload but are certainly more effective than just being a critter. They might be in the right power range as a nuisance as after all you aren't a real antag but I don't think anyone is in much danger from you.

What stinks for them is their huge vulnerability to tasers. I can't give an exact behaviour, as debug respawning as one crashes my game, but it felt like two taser hits would take you out for 25 seconds. Yikes. Two or three bots at the same time are trivial for anyone but the sleepiest sec to deal with. Think the detective revolver can two tap them as well.

How should they be improved?
