Rifleman Archive

As you progress through marksman and rifleman you gain rifle speed +5 +20 etc....doesn't anyone have a quantitative amount that these bonuses work out to be? Or is it something where you just happen to shoot a little faster and the amount is neglectable?

Thanks

The amount is appreciable.
The formula is (weapon speed * shotpenalty * ((100 - rifle speed modifier) * .01).

Example: Laser rifle with speed 5.2, firing HS2s:

Without firing specials (just normal "attack")...
If your speed modifier is +40, thenactual speed = 5.2 *((100 - 40) * .01) = 3.12 seconds
If your speed modifier is +65, thenactual speed = 5.2 *((100 - 65) * .01) = 1.82 seconds

Firing HeadShot2s, which have a timepenalty of 1.75...
If your speed modifier is +40, thenactual speed = 5.2 * 1.75 * ((100 - 40) * .01) = 5.46
If your speed modifier is +65, thenactual speed = 5.2 * 1.75 * ((100 - 65) * .01) = 3.1

Thanks alot, this is exactly what I was looking for, much apreciated.

/hug Thanks wayne!!!!!!!!!
