Having just got a lvl 10 gun re , I changed existing one on my FSE for new one.
I also removed Proton missile launcher to accomodate slightly more mass on new gun.
Launched into space . Guns were firing slower .
Heres the problem --- new gun had faster refire than old.
After 3 trips to space sorted problem out . It seems that when i removed missile launcher it somehow
nerfed the gun refire rate . I also experienced this problem when kitting out a B - wing.
My FSe now has a Lvl 9 and 10 gun firing at .31 and .308 respectively ( but you can't tell any difference when fireing.
Is this a known problem / bug ?

Now you mention it, I bought 2 new rapid-fire balsters, both have the rame refire rate, but now they fire out of sinc. So there could be a little bugger skulking about somewhere.
I really need a KSE 
My X-wing just isn't cutting it at the moment, Managed to get 2 Pre-nerf engines off Mina, so I'm going to work on my A-wing to get it set up for PvP. Then to see how it goes form there. I may have to scrap my X-wing to get the KSE though. That would be a very sad day.

Did you test out the new gun immediately after having it RE'd, or did you log between REing it and testing it? Also, when you say your guns were firing slower, how did you test that?

Check which command you are using to fire the guns. If you are using "Fire Weapons and Cycle Next Group" you will get a slight delay if there actually isn't a second group of weapons.

No you don't, you just need to close and reopen the management window.

I think I have seen this. Is the delay like a pause where it is trying to fire a gun that is disabled? It is because you launched missing a gun you had set up in a weapon group previously. Try launching, verify the slow rate, hit G to go to weapon config, reset them to default, then try firing again.
Let us know if you get things fixed up.

I tested the guns straight away --- no logout / login. Straight swop lvl 9 for the new lvl 10.
First test of guns and theywere firing noticeably slower. Old guns were .38 new ones .31 refire rate.
I think it was a fault of the weapon config menu ----- i had same config as old gun load out .
What i did to rectify problem was unload then reload one at a time the gun then launching into space
after each new part loaded.
I sorted it out and they now fire as a pair and much faster . I
have also noticed a bug when loading missiles . Sometimes you have to goto
a different starport to load launcher and load launcher with missiles.

All the guns do have a POS refire rate. I do agree there. But the Firespray is way too overrated. I tried it once and Istill prefer theunder-massed A-wing. At least it candogfight and has a small profile. Your best bet is waiting for the heavy X-wing.

Is there a missile launcher in your gun selection? This happened with my Oppressor.
Symptoms:
- Delay on first shot
- Slowdown
- Press G, and a missile slot shows up even when you don't have one loaded.
I cleared this by redeeding.

This could be a recent problem. I fitted out an Oppresser last night and it acted like I only had one set of guns instead of two. There was a slight variation in refire rate, but that never showed itself. I checked the load-out and tried both guns individually, and they worked, but the damage output still seemed low.
