NS-03 Thumper

Dev Note: This weapon was tuned conservatively in the first update, as the nature of explosives can carry a lot of power in certain situations. After seeing the weapon perform, we feel comfortable expanding its power and practicality with the following changes.

• Removed the leg-shot damage reduction
• Thumper is now usable as an ASP secondary weapon.
• Thumper now shoots projectiles "from the eyes" like other weapons, while aiming down sights.
• Still investigating an issue where the Thumper won't drop the movement speed penalty when reloading while aiming down sights.
