A True Damage patch for the Institute EM Gun to make it a viable weapon alongside other ballistic weapons.

This is my first mod so please let me know if you have any suggestions and I will try to accommodate a fix for it.
This patch adds Damage values directly to the Institute 2mm EC to balance the Institute EM Gun's damage when running True Damage.
IMPORTANT: This will make the weapon extremely overpowered without True Damage.
Lore:
As the institute is expected to be the technologically superior faction, the damage for the Institute EM Gun has been adjusted to be superior to Pipe Guns, and the conventional Hunting Rifle. Unlike other ballistics weapons with True Damage active, mods can affect damage as superior EM components will affect the projectile damage.
Damage stats will be comparable to/slightly superior to Combat Rifles. To make it viable in all configurations, I have also added extra damage to all Sniper Barrel Attachments & Splitter Barrel Attachment. More information on the specific changes below.
I wanted to maintain the .50 Cal Sniper Rifle as the end-game Sniper Rifle so the damage of all Sniper Barrels will not exceed the .50 Cal Sniper Rifle. This is to maintain balance as the Institute EM Gun in Sniper Configuration is significantly lighter than the .50 Cal.
To maintain balance for the Splitter Barrels, the range on both Improved and Standard Splitter Barrels have been reduced significantly. Out of Range Multiplier has also been decreased significantly to increase damage falloff when out of range.
