About the pull request
As the title says.
Closes #8179
Explain why it's good for the game
Modifying gun damage this way is really buggy and led to a bug (#8179) that lets people stack a damage multiplier infinitely.
A more comprehensive solution would be to, instead, have a gun instance stored in this attachment so that it handles all its own variables, damage multiplers, et cetera, instead of trying to modify the original weapon. This would require an overhaul and is not something I'm opposed to someone doing, but this simple solution should suffice for fixing the exploit.
