- Added a nodrop brush to the Arena floor in the Jedi POV so that a *little* FPS is saved from having no dropped Battledroid guns.

///Weapons\\\

**Effects**
- Updated many wall impact effects for blasters to use kalamaray's "Enhanced Impact Effects" as they're much more performance friendly, and while they're not as varied as Ultimate Weapons impacts, still look quite good and don't tank FPS this much.
