Comments about this update and mod:

I always felt like the pistols in the game were useless. With these new changes and items, they will become more compelling to use. However, there needs to be a trade-off. Only boosting the damage as you research new upgrades only makes the pistols replace the rifle. That's why I'm making it so that for every tech you research that increases the DPS of the pistols, you lose a bit of range. Now, you can choose to engage with the rifle from a safe distance or deal more damage from a closer one.

 - Added the following technologies:
	Magnetic Bullet Accelerator:
		This tech boosts the Akimbo Pistols' DPS by 50% and reduces the range by 1.
	Fast Ignition Drives:
		This tech boosts the Fourkimbo's DPS by 13.5% and reduces the range by 1.

 - Adjusted weapon balance:
	Increased the DPS of "Akimbo Pistols" by a further 16% (originally 50%, boosted to 66%) and reduced the range by 0.5. (Dps is now 7 / Range is now 14.5)
	Increased the DPS of "Fourkimbo Pistols" by 37.5% and reduced the range by 1. (Dps is now 7 / Range is now 14.5)

 - Added the following items:
	MBA Akimbo Pistols  (Dps 10.5 / Range 14)
	Fast Ignition Pistols  (Dps 12.5 / Range 12)
	
 - Changed the mod's technology tree.

 - Updated artwork: I cleaned up the art a bit and added some details to make the technology art feel more consistent, and each step is part of the same mod. I also added some details to each pistol upgrade to make it easier to see which pistol you are using.
