Sniper Rifle Rework

Sniper Rifle Rework makes the vanilla sniper rifle feel more precise, valuable, and dangerous without turning it into a guaranteed instant-kill weapon. The mod improves sniper rifles in two main ways: weapon quality now affects effective range, and sniper shots have increased weighted chances to hit vital body parts.

Features

Sniper rifle range scales with weapon quality, from -2 range at Awful quality up to +4 range at Legendary quality.
The weapon info card shows the correct effective range.
The targeting radius ring uses the updated range.
Sniper rifle shots have increased weighted chances to hit vital body parts.
RimWorld-style randomness is preserved.
Affects only the vanilla sniper rifle.

Quality-based range

Sniper rifle range now depends on weapon quality.

Awful: -2 range
Poor: -1 range
Normal: vanilla range
Good: +1 range
Excellent: +2 range
Masterwork: +3 range
Legendary: +4 range

The actual firing range, weapon info card value, and targeting radius are all updated to use the same effective range.

Vital hit system

Sniper rifle shots are more likely to hit dangerous body parts such as:

Head
Neck
Brain
Heart
Lungs
Spine e.t.c

This does not guarantee instant kills. The mod changes weighted hit chances, so shots can still land on other body parts.
