About The Pull Request
This PR modifies the projectile speeds of Sharplite-made laser weaponry so that the bolts travel much faster.
Only weapons that fire a single bolt were affected, so laser shotguns and accelerator projectile speeds have remained unchanged. Sharplite laser turrets have also been brought in line with this projectile speed, aside from the heavy laser variant.
Below is a video of an eoehoma weapon, which has not had its projectile speeds changed:

Below this is an example of a Sharplite weapon after the projectile speed change:

Why It's Good For The Game
Laser weapon changes are in the works right now, and these changes are intended to help enhance laser weapon manufacturer identity, from what I understand. This PR works towards that goal and brings Sharplite weapons closer in line by making their projectiles much faster.
