File Structure
8 byte header, with the first 4 bytes being 9A 99 99 3F and the rest the amount of entries on the file (can be changed to add/remove entries but you aren't going to need to that). After the header there are 5 unused bytes and then the entires start.
if you want to know which weapon[ID]LevelData file corresponds to the weapon you want to edit their ID will be shown in parenthesis next to their name
All weapons of the same tree have the same "Weapon Base ID", so to find them just look for their Base ID which can be found here

Rapid Fire amount and damage modifier are saved in "rapidshotData" Siege capacity is saved in "SquatshotData" For S+ 00=yes, 01=no. Only Normal, Pierce, Pellet, Crag, and Cluster have an S+ skill so for the other ammos this should always be set to 01 if you want them to be able to fire that type of ammo.
