10-3-16 UPDATE: V2 - Slightly modified form data to SET the AttackDelay to the new values instead of MUL+ADD the new values. If this mod didn't work before it should now.

I really hated getting in trouble and just firing away with the sniper barrel like a regular laser rifle, not taking advantage of the charging damage bonus at all. So, I made it so that the fire rate is set negatively equal to the charge time, making it so that you can't fire the weapon until the very second it's fully charged, forcing you to time out your shots to do max damage. Essentially, it acts more like a hunting rifle now--you get one powerful shot but it better be a good one, otherwise you'll have to wait a couple seconds to fire again.

This is also very helpful if you use scopes or sights with the sniper barrel, as I find most block the charge dots.
