(Solved) Synchronized guns! (courtesy of a creation by komuhachi)

The thing I was wondering above all else about this thing was how the 'recoil' gun and main gun were synchronized. In making my GunMan series of weapon armed crash dummies I had an issue with trying to make the guns have recoil. The recoil gun wouldn't fire in synch with the main gun, which ruined the recoil effect.

Then I downloaded this thing, looked through the XML stats (through overload) and eventually discovered how it was done.

1)The fire rate was set to a very high number, but..
2) the burst count was set to 1.
3) Fire rate was actually dictated entirely through the TimeBetweenBursts!

So that is the answer! So if anyone wants to make all their guns fire in sync, they simply need to do what komuhachi did with his gun! I hope people see this, because more peeps should know of this trick! I know I'll be happier knowing it.

    for my ones roundsPerSecond is usualy high so that there is low time between the guns firing (i usualy use 2 guns to make 1 but in some cases 3) and then i also do the burst Count thing and time between bursts because it's the only way really. When the guns are placed is also important because the gun that was placed first will fire first
