The burst time counts the gaps between shots, not the shots — the first bullet leaves at zero. It is how long the burst lasts, never how fast you react.

- Horizontal (Yaw) switch time increased from0.37sto0.6s

Why, in Riot's words
Protected bullet counts: how many bullets in a spray you can use before your gun has a chance of yaw switch
Tap Efficiency determines the rate that inaccuracy is accrued when re-firing prior to waiting for the complete duration of a weapon's respective Gun Recovery Time. The higher the Tap Efficiency, the lower the rate of inaccuracy accrual

- Sample size
Riot publishes a single wall-penetration level and no recoil figures at all. This weapon’s level is Medium — the rest of that column would be invented to fill the shape of a drawing.
