A complete rebalancing of the Bowguns, granted balance is kind of iffy, but hopefully it's only bowguns doing things that they shouldn't be doing than being overpowered.

The mod aims to provide better Bowgunner experience by providing a bit more flexible bowguns, and a lot more variations in playstyle. This also includes a rework of the horrible Auto-Reload Bowguns that are straight-up dead-on-arrival.

Changes Overview and Rationale:

Ammo Modification:

(Full damage changes here: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/articles/296 )

- Increased Normal-3 Range, increased normal damage and added KO

- Increased Spread Critical-Distance, improved low-level ammo damage and added KO

- Increased Dragon Shot capacity from 3 to 30, increased velocity and damage

- Tweaked Wyvernsnipe to have consistent explosion damage

- Increased Wyvern S Damage

- Increased the damage of Cluster-1 and Cluster-2

- Increased the damage of Spread-1 and Spread-2

- Wyvern-Counter now does consistent explosion

- Increased Wyvernheart Velocity and Critical-Distance, does sever damage

- Increased Slicing Velocity

- Added Intial Damage to Slicing and Stickies

- Pierce-Shots now deal consistent damage/tick, differentiated by velocity

The thought of the changes is simple, it boosts the LV1 and LV2 ammo which is used by far more bowguns than the specialists. Only a few have Cluster-3, but a lot have cluster-2s and cluster-1s, likewise Spread-1 and Spread-2 vs Spread-3. I only modified the damage to make them deal simmilar consistent damage per pellet, but still varies pellet by ammo-level.

The Normal-Shot-3 range to that of the Pierce-Shots. This is to make Normal-3 more competitive, and the bowguns even more far-reaching. The Meta always had been the Spread and Explosives because of damage, but at least the Normal-3 would get consistency. The increase of damage from 10/20/34 to 16/25/43 also helps give Normals popularity, as well as KO to 4/
