in the matter of gunspecs i can say that you can count on me, the command is ''firerate'' but if the animations speed don't mach with the setted fire rate... it'll be a mess, it's not just add a small command and all'll be fixed, i've found a simple(newb) solution for the problem, you shoud visit my thread and see what i'm talking about.

got it now ?
compare your gunspec configurated animations with mine's
you probably know that, but the technich consist in decreasse the animations frames interval, cuz that makes the weapon, not just be firing faster(that the firerate do) but actualy look like it's firing faster, you see ?
Start fire = 73,75
automatic fire = 76,78
end fire = 80,82
here it shows an short animation interval, very small 2 by 2.
73 to 75
76 to 78
80 to 82
d'you have your fire animations configurations there ?
you can see that the fire animations comfiguration interval in your settings is quite larger, so it takes longer than mine, making the automatic fire animations incompatible with the firerate,(if i just set another firerate)and comsequently with the fireloop.
let's take the uzi from my thread for another example
Start fire = 74,75
automatic fire = 76,78
end fire = 79,80
zoom start fire =263,266
zoom automatic fire =267,270
zoom end fire = 271,273
you can see here that once's i edited the normal fire animations with different intervals that i edited the iron sigth animations, the fireloop is different when zommed in, to the zommed out, and even the resultant fire rate had a difference betwen the iron sight and the normal sight.
BUT, if i also equalate the animation frames interval... we'll got an harmony, like bellow.
zoom start fire =263,264
zoom automatic fire =265,267
zoom end fire = 268,269
the fireloop will be equal in both sigths and so the fire rate.
so if you make your animations with a smaller frame interval, all shoud be coherent, and have no problems.
guns will look like guns, shotguns will look like shotguns, automatic guns like automatic guns.
