Better HMGs - Heavy Machine Guns

Overhauled HMGs, made into a whole new gun. Can equip them and store them. No overheating. Implemented reloading logic. Removed movement penalties. Modified spread and recoil stats, now using Defender's stats. They now use rifle ammo. Added a power AR/SMG/Rifle mod slot. Changed its weight to 7. Faster equip/unequip. Nerfed variant restores overheating, movement penalties and spread and recoil stats.

Known issues

The weapon will reload to 200, even if you have less than 200 rifle ammo left for some reason.

For some reason part of the overheating animation's sound is missing (the cocking back the metal thingy sound). Seems to be a vanilla bug.
