About The Pull Request
Adds mauling functionality to the entrenching tool and a "brand new" (read: dusty, probably-stolen surplus) machete. Mauling is like kneecapping (requires an immobilized target, has a long windup that makes it impractical in combat, rolls for pretty heavy wounds) but you can aim for all limbs, not just the legs. In case you want to turn a maint scuffle's "actual bodily harm" into either "grievous bodily harm" or "first-degree murder".
The machete (specifically, the sheath, which contains the machete, both of which had their sprites taken from TGMC and adjusted, slightly) can be found in exploration surplus crates. Machete sheaths can be adjusted with Alt-RMB to use one of three worn sprites, and can be attached to vests, belt slots, back slots. Currently contemplating if I want to snowflake some solution to make it able to force itself onto any suit slot's storage.
How This Contributes To The Nova Sector Roleplay Experience
Slight improvement in melee variety. Roleplay opportunities in the form of grievous bodily harm. Surprise work for Medbay when some hapless assistant comes in with a severed leg, two pulped arms, and a cranial fissure.

add: Warehouse scavengers report a few palettes of machetes have, somehow, been discovered in the warehouses and storerooms associated with the still-defunct Vanguard Expeditionary Corps.
add: Reports of entrenching tools and recently rediscovered machetes whispering "you should right-click with me on someone who's floored or immobilized" into people's ears have been greatly exaggerated. Regardless, crew members with an aversion to violence are suggested to avoid listening to the very legally unsound advice.
