Combat Rifle rechambered to 5mm

Description:
------------
I was planning to rechamber the Assault Rifle to 5mm. But after I found out its internal model name is actually "Machine Gun" and the real Assault Rifle is
only an unfinished model, I decided to shift my focus to the Combat Rifle. Because at least it looks more like a normal rifle rather than a bulky WWI machine gun.

Combat Rifle is now rechambered to 5mm. Its ammo leveled list is also modified to reflect the new chambering. I switch the model of standard magazine to the large one. The "Large Magazine" now uses the unused drum magazine model in BA2 archive and is renamed to "Drum Magazine" as well. All "Short" barrels now use the unused short fluted barrel model, which is a bit longer than the vanilla short barrel. The "Long Light Barrel" also uses the unused long fluted barrel model. The compensator now uses the cone shaped model from Assault Rifle for a more varied look.

I also change how all weapon mods affect the total weight. Now they are using flat "Add" instead of unrealistic/illogical "Multiply".
