Add different weapons that can be obtained, with various characteristics

[lendrick]

Characteristics could include range, weapon energy type, the ability to pass through walls, rate of fire, energy use, bullet size, trajectory, other special bullet qualities.

• machine gun
• lightning gun
• grenades
• armor piercing ammo
• zero point energy gun (uses no energy to fire)
• etc

We could have a ton of these, like in Castlevania: SOTN.
