I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design, but there is a significant delay between pressing the button, and the gun actually firing. This delay does not happen on the scrambler pistol, or assault rifle. It's challenging enough to time the projectile of the scrambler rifle, but having a delay on the actual button makes the weapon very sloppy, especially when trying to track someone when you don't know when it will fire.
Example, when covering someone who has taken cover, when they pop out you cannot hit them before they take cover again. By the time the weapon actually fires, they're gone. |

The scrambler rifle actually fires when you let go of the button.

Yeah. This is because the Scrambler Rifle is a charge weapon, like the Charge Sniper Rifle or Forge Gun. |

Well I knew that.... I thought there was a timer before the charge setting kicked in... I admit my stupid mistake |
