WIP Update: Ray Gun

For this week's update, we're introducing a new Energy Shooter firing type, the "Ray." A mid-ranged narrow stream of energy burst forth! This shooter fires at an extremely fast rate with piercing rays through, delivering streams of energy to a large group of enemies with ease. With how fast these shooters can fire, players can utilize them with damage properties to deliver a constant stream of conditional ailments!
