In my opinion, all of the different weapon types should have a different speed cap. It really isn’t possible to shoot a oversized rifle like a T21 every second. Or let the battery recharge on the hair dryer they call a Jawa Ion Rifle (no flame meant to Rifleman…I have one in fact). My suggestion is that each different weapon type has a different speed cap. For example, Carbines, in my opinion, should have Full Auto Shot as their default attack. So just using default attack, maybe getting 2-4 shots every shot (simulating the automatic part of the gun) with a 2-3 second pause depending on your skill level for reloading. A pistol, should do minimal damage out of all the weapons, but shoot at every second. Maybe even have the Scatter Pistol have what a Carbineer has…shoot several shots with the default attack instead of one (I mean the gun shoots like a Shotgun!). Then Rifleman should be the opposite of Pistoleer. Doing loads of damage but maybe at every 4 seconds or so.
With accuracy as well, the Carbineer and Pistoleer should have great accuracy while moving at master, but Rifleman, in order to hit, should have to be still, and to even have a better chance, prone. As it is right now, I can run around with my Rifle and hit everything that moves. This accuracy will force the Rifleman to actually be Rifleman. Maybe even add some strategy to it as well…

This is something I've recently been saying. Except, a little different. But none the less is a good idea. Each weapon should have its own speed cap, and I mean each. yes, that would be alot of coding, and had I the experiance needed, I'd gladly voluteer to help in it. Giving each weapon its own weapon speed SHOULD be something they put in the combat revamp. Unfortunately, since I am absolutely clueless about what the heck they're gonna do, so I can't hope they'll do so.

The damage type thing I don't really agree with. Each type of gun should have the same damage type.
