PTRD should be recoil-operated

I noticed an interesting little tidbit while watching Forgotten Weapons- the PTRD is meant to be recoil-operated, in a sense that firing will open the bolt and eject the shell for you.

Currently what we see now is that you need to manually open the bolt before loading the next cartridge.

What that means is that due to the manual opening of the bolt, the PTRD in game has a slower reload rate than it should.
Not the end of the world but something to look at fixing.

Good noticing

If it gets a firerate buff, idk if it should also receive the damage consistency buff as then it will outperform the PzB, altho then that could also be a reason to add that HEAT pistol so one side gets the better AT rifle while the other side gets the HEAT yeet
