Purpose
This PR does a few things. First, It adds AP bullet prefabs so that the AP bullet magazines available in the TC uplink actually do what they are advertised to do. Yay! Second, it adds a disclaimer to the currently unimplemented options in the traitor uplink, letting players know that they are just placeholders. Third, it removes some discrepancies seen amongst the existing AP values as well as in a couple armor sets.
Also, it rebalances some of the damage values of certain catridges to be more in line with modern /tg/, which has nerfed some of the traitor weapons, most notably, the SAW was reduced from 45 damage to 40 damage. I took it a step further and nerfed the .357 revolver slightly as well, which I've always thought was a bit ludicrously powerful for not even being a weapon that was particularly hard to acquire.
Lastly, this PR rebalances all armor that provides 100 bomb protection to instead provide 95 bomb protection. This will improve the game's balance when it comes to the cheesy and exploitative grenade tricks people have been pulling. It can still be done with most explosives, but now there's at least a cost for doing it.
Notes:
All of these changes are pretty small, but if anyone has any thoughts they'd like to share about the direction this PR goes in, feel free to bring them up.
