fire rate and charge weapons

does a fire rate increase affect charge weapons in any way? i mean i know the simple shots should shoot faster (my controller is a lil messed up so no matter how lightly and quickly i tap it its gona charge some) but to me thats like launching a missile without a warhead. does it increase the charge rate any? i have a orange particle repeater(my first orange weapon) and its orange stat is a fire rate boost. i have another particle repeater but it also has a fire rate boost but its a green stat and im not attentive enough to knowtice if theres a difference in their charge time

I have a VOT charge sniper with Cannoneer on it. With all appropriate mods it shoots faster than one without cannoneer (uncharged shot only). To my knowledge it doesn't seem to effect the time that it takes to charge up a shot, only shortens the delay between uncharged shots.

Doesn't affect the charge time, but it does increase the speed between uncharged shots.

well thats a bummer

The VOT charge sniper would be way OP if it did make the charge faster. As is this thing is a shotgun and sniper in one. Its charge is so close together thanks to the 3rd and 4th effect of cannoneer that it basically has no spread. Kills almost every small mook in one charge shot or less.

For a semi auto its amazing and fine the way it is.
