About the pull request

This PR adds a new smartscope that replaces all current instances of the smartscope and uses the Alt IFF system(E.g, it prevents you from shooting at friendlies rather than firing through them.)

the old smartscope has been removed entirely

The B8(new smartscope) now applies a 10% damage reduction modifier, and a .2 falloff modifier, but otherwise does not alter the gun's stats.
The B8(new smartscope) Does not have the zoom feature.

The M41A MK2 can now equip the smartscope.

Explain why it's good for the game

The smartscope largely exists as "training wheels" for newer/more casual players to play, however as it currently exists, completely destroys a weapon's stats-- making a player individually near useless, while also allowing for IFF stacking with multiple rifles, in which case it is very very strong. It is also restricted to some of the least used guns in the game, meaning the pulse rifle a newer player is often handed can't even mount it.

To remedy this, the smartscope now uses the alt IFF system, instead of being a DPS stacking item you can add to your frontline riflemen it instead acts as an assist item, similar to the recoil compensator, that allows you to trade some damage for the assist.

should either remove the old smartscope or make sure that it's still able to be applied to rifles (as right now it looks like, even if a mini iff scope spawns in, it'll be useless).

The only way this is good training wheels for new players is if it still allows full auto because new players won’t understand semi auto carpal tunnel that makes the mk2 a fragger gun
