About the pull request

Readds the barrel charger to marine preps and requisitions.
You won't be able to order more though, so marine late joins are the primary way of resupplying.
Also gives it a facelift.

Explain why it's good for the game

This is more or less a follow up to #4122, when barrel chargers were removed due to issues with burst fire rate at the time, at least according to that PR.

With the recent PRs that have practically fixed that issue, there should be no issue to return the charger back to the marine loadout, if at least to limited quantities similar to how it was back it was in.

If people are concerned about how this makes it easier to kill xenos, it doesn't- even if it takes slightly less ammunition to kill something.
Essentially, the DPS still remains the same but you have a faster TTK with initial bursts
As confusing as that statement is, you would have to use it to understand what I'm saying
That said, while it can fit on the shotgun, its practically useless on it, don't bother

If jamming & durability was still in, this would have dealt more durability damage to the gun when fired as an additionally downside, but I digress

Entertain me, please fight over this attachment in squad preps, its quite a limited commodity.

No idea why the M10 can fit the BC but whatever

These things are gonna look ugly on certain guns, but im not really interested in making any visual exceptions for it
