I have always thought that a gun's speed is the time between shots, and the recharge is the time to reload...is this true?
The reason I question it, is my mauser (1s/3s) takes longer than 1 second to shoot, and my new smg (1.5s/1.8s), seems to shoot faster, lots faster actually. Now I only barely had time to test it on some very grey leets and blubags, so it could be that I am just hitting more (I have misses turned off), but even the image of firing the bullet seemed faster, so what the heck to the numbers mean? It can't be that a my 1/3 gun just takes 4 seconds to shoot, or why wouldn't they just say it has a speed of 4s and be done with it?
Also, exactly what effect does ranged initiative have?
