Template talk:Splatling data S2

I think the template sentence When firing, it has a fire rate of X frames between shots. is misleading and should be changed into When firing, it shoots a projectile each X frames. in all templates.

For example, the sentence is as follows on both Nautilus articles:

"When firing, it has a fire rate of 4 frames between shots."

This implies that Nautilus fires like this (B being a frame where a bullet gets shot, n being a frame where no projectile gets shot):

B-n-n-n-n-B-n-n-n-n-B and so on.

A reader would understand that the cycle to shoot one projectile has a duration of 5 frames (1 frame for the shot + 4 frames cooldown between 2 shots).

However, Nautilus fires a projectile each 4 frames, not each 5 frames:

B-n-n-n-B-n-n-n-B and so on

This is especially confusing on the Strategy Page for Nautilus 79, where the article says "4 frames between shots, or 15 shots per second". 4 frames between shots mean 12 shots per second, because 60 divided by (1 + 4) equals 12.

When firing, it shoots a projectile each X frames. is more accurate and understandable in my opinion, because it clearly states how long the cycle to shoot one projectile takes.

What's your opinion on this? --Strohkoenig (talk) 16:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
