SP-9 rounds are on there twice!

Looks like a nice juicy update, I can hardly wait! I unfortunately won't be around much between now and then, so it will be extra exciting when it does come out for that reason ;)

I feel bad for the folks who spawn on Skalisty Island. Thats going to be a rough one.
