Just want to clear up one thing for your calculations: The delay between firing and when you start reloading is 1.5 seconds, not 1 second (if you're looking in the SDE, this is the fire interval). This would also be the time between firing shots if there is more than one round in a clip.
On that note, I've been playing around with the fire interval and it feels a lot better when set to 0.5 (a 1 second reduction) so for the single shot variants I'll be looking at the possibility of going with that. For variants with multiple rounds in a clip 1 second interval felt better with full auto and charge (similar to how the bolt pistol works)

I said I've been exploring reducing the fire interval, not that it's coming for sure. Just have to test a bit more, crunch some numbers and convince CCP Ratatti to make the change.
As for full auto Plasma Cannons, I say for sure we'll add them, but it sure was fun to test one the other day when I was messing around with numbers. (Don't ask about the Burst Plasma Cannon. That was too far)

All weapons have a fire interval. Its the number that dictates the time between shots, and by extension the ROF of the weapon. Most automatic weapons have a very low fire interval as the time between shots is very low, while weapons like sniper rifles and mass drivers have higher fire intervals. The plasma cannon is unique in that it's not constrained by it's fire interval as much as other weapons due to having only one round in a clip. This means that the fire interval then only dictates the delay between when you fire, and "finish" firing the shot and can start reloading.
If we ever make a plasma cannon with more than one shot, the fire interval will be very important as it will dictate the time between shots.
And trust me, 0.5 is much better. Setting it lower felt a bit weird when I tried it out. Setting it any lower would mean that you would essentially be reloading the moment the shot left the barrel.
