HCAR and HK51: reduce recoil to bring more in line with SCAR-H and SA-58
.410 Jury: increase damage per pellet to become more effective
FMG-9 and M/45: increase damage per round to 25 and push out falloff start range to make these weapons more effective
Battlerifle min damage increased to 25 across the board
