F18 gun high/low rate

[Rolds]

Is this implemented? It seems to play the same sound effect with either rate of fire selected and is hard to tell if there is a difference as I imagine both rates of fire are very high.

Edit: Of course I post this then think of an idea to test, I'll leave this up in case others are curious or test it themselves. It appears that it is, though my method isn't very precise: I used one hand to work a stopwatch on my phone and the other to hold down the trigger. I got about 6 seconds of fire at high rate and 9 at low rate across a couple tests of each so yes, I think it is working.

Edit 2: And then I look up the fire rates and the of course math works. High rate should be 6000rnds/min and low 4000rnds/min. That's 100/sec high rate and 67/sec low rate, for a 578 round belt gives 5.78 seconds of fire at high rate and 8.67 at low.

It is, but the sound is indeed identical. I reported this as a bug when it was released over 2 years ago, but it quickly got moved to the wishlist.

Forgive my ignorance but could the high rate sound be slowed by 33% to produce a plausible low rate sound? The pitch might be too low but perhaps that can be cleaned up with the right software.
