Weapons defined in text files / de-harding weapons [feature debate]

After an hour of drama on IRC two days ago, me and Samual got to an understanding. I will not be touching the code for the core weapons, and instead will create customizable weapons as a mutator with separate settings. If some months or years from now Samual and other devs find that my code is good enough to replace the existing weapon code, maybe it will become a default... if not it can stay a mutator for all I care. Re-implementing it from a scratch also feels like an easier approach than modifying existing weapon code piece by piece... there's also no hurry to replicate the existing core weapons at once. When I have the time and mood to get working on this, I will.
