Description
---------------------------------------
The Lobber is basically a clusterbomb. When it hits something,
it explodes, sending 20 small explosive pellets flying everywhere.
It's not quite as powerful as it sounds. The pellets & initial
ordinance only do 40 points of radius damage. As you might know,
radius damage is nowhere near as powerful as normal damage.
2 or 3 of these babies are a great cure for a crowded room,
provided you're not in that room or close to the initial point
of impact. The downsides are that if you fire it into a nearby wall
or in a tight room, you can wave goodbye to at least 50 health. Plus,
1 lobber shot will cost you 2 rockets (big deal...).

How To Use The Lobber
---------------------------------------
Just press 7(impulse 7) twice, I'm sure you know the rest.
Hit impulse 7 again to change back to the rocketlauncher.

Bugs
---------------------------------------
Lobber may cause a packet overflow & be a little detrimental
to dm play. I would hate to see this thing being fired by more
than two people at once...
I randomized the pellet explosions over 1/2 a second to reduce the
frequency of packet overflows, so on my machine I've only seen
one p\o since.
Let me know if you find any other bugs.

Help Needed!!
---------------------------------------
If you're a skin artist with a big heart & an urge to get into
skinning something other than the player, give the Lobber a try.
As you can see, my skin bites pretty bad.
The Lobber also needs new sounds, but I'm pretty content with
using the regular sounds so that's not so urgent.

If you can make quake models, and you'd like to add your models
to New Union, go ahead & email me.
A new fish model with spitting animation would make me...
uh...
nevermind. Suffice it to say I'd be very happy.
Also in the works is "Cerberus", a fire-breathing dog, who 
_should_ have two heads (kinda like my neighbours). Cerberus
needs a body!
So if you can help, or are remotely interested in helping, gimme a yell :)
