Rate of Fire

Hi all, can anybody tell me where the rate of fire is located for the Marine weapons?

New to the modding scene and just trying to get familiar with the lua files, but I'm having a little bit of trouble finding a few things. I did a quick search and could not find any threads with details on this.

Thanks

    I've been modding the game for a year now and still haven't worked out a good way to improve the fire rate of the rifle, (it can't fire faster than the server tick rate) but it should be possible for the other weapons. Generally for the other weapons you do this by editing the animation graphs. For combat we did this by adding a new parameter and changing the speed of the fire animation, feeding in the fire rate that way as an animation input.

    Thanks! Could you, or anybody else, explain a little more on how you would go about adding a new parameter and changing the speed of the fire animation? Like I said, I'm new to this type of thing, and learning by example would help tremendously.

    Why is the fire rate attached to the animation anyhow? Wouldn't it be easier to separate the two, and make the animation scale to whatever the ROF variable is?
