About the PR

Reduces the magazine size of the Gwydion tranquilizer pistol from 15 to 10.
Reduces spare magazines in tranquilizer pistol pouch from 5 to 3.

Overall bullet count drops to 40 from a staggering 90.

Why's this needed?

The tranq pistol is meant to be a precision instrument, used to cover your tracks if you're actually infiltrating, or dropping high value targets in the planting phase. With 90 shots you could just empty in to the oncoming crew and it was a little silly.
This change should make Infiltrators a little more thoughtful with where they spend their ammo.

Changelog

(u)Gannets
(+)Gwydion tranquilizer pistol magazine size reduced to 10. Tranquilizer ammo pouches now contain 3 spares.

You hardly see any infiltrators, and while I can somewhat agree with the PR that you can just hard KO a bunch of folks, its very rarely done.

Also by dropping the spare mags from 5 to 3, i'm assuming you're also dropping the pistol magazine pouch from 5 to 3, which means you can carry even less 9mm Branwen ammo that you can switch into the gun. At the very least do not do that, as Branwen ammo is vital.

I'd say keep the magazine capacity at 15 and spawn the pouch with 2 spare tranq mags, and then 3 normal 9mm magazines in the pouch. This would leave the infil with 45 tranq and lethal rounds, and inventory space to hold future branwen ammo when things get bad.

Hadn't really considered people were loading 9mm ammo in to the tranq pistol. Something to think about.
