A person who wishes to remain anonymous contributed this. It's a tweak for

the discharge on the lightning gun. If you read the code it's fairly obvious
what it does - sustains a sane amount of damage over a longer period of time,
you won't discharge the entire amount over 100 all at once anymore. Makes it
impossible to do instant kills obviously, but makes it better IMHO.
