Subject: Wield messages for the new launcher egos, and descriptions for all
 the new launcher/ammo egos.

Better explosion message for exploding ammo.

Note that fire/ice/chaos/exploding ammo will always be destroyed upon impact,
rather than falsely saying that increasing its enchantment will increase its
chance of surviving.
