Clarifying mechanic: extra damage to ancient infested when you shoot through your electric shield.

Mechanic is not actually "extra" damage. When shooting through the electric shield, your bullet does its maximum possible damage, regardless of the ancients damage reductions. Seems to function as armor ignoring damage since, if it was electrical, it should be reduced by infested electricity resistance.

Tested by using an unmodded latron (base dmg: 40). When shooting a lvl 11 ancient, each bullet did 9 damage to the body. when shooting through the electrical shield each bullet did 40 damage (full base damage) to the body. Tested again on a level 40 ancient. Normal shot to body did 5 damage. Shot through shield did 40 damage again (full base damage) to the body. Added unranked serration (+15% rifle damage). Shooting a lvl 40 ancient in the body still yielded 5 damage normally. Shooting the ancient in the body through electrical shield did 46 damage (exactly base damage +15%).
