Allow min- and max-spread to affect beam weapons (to slash)

Seems like this would be a (relatively) simple addition that wouldn't affect stock beam weapons. Enable min-spread and max-spread values for beam weapons. For non-zero values, it picks a value between min- and max-spread with the current aiming target at the center, then sweeps the beam across that field (randomly between clockwise and counter-clockwise).

I'd also really appreciate this for making something along the lines of the Gatling Laser from Fallout.

I personally want the ability to have multiple beams concurrently existing,

Ie fire beam, half way to chargedown, fire another beam, halfway to charge down, other beam is on chargedown. etc. :D
