Alright, how do the Burst Rifles actually work???

Pretty simple question I think, how do they work exactly?

Burst Fire Rifles

We’ve updated the two Burst Fire rifles to differentiate them a little more from other automatic rifles and each other. Now each rifle deals more damage per-burst with a greater delay between each burst. Overall damage-per-second has been lowered a little to only just higher than fully automatic rifles.

BR-16

Increased magazine size to 30 (from 27)
Increased damage per round to 17 (from 15)
Reduced rate of fire to 800RPM (from 857RPM)
Increased delay between bursts to 217ms (from 133ms)
Stark AR

Increased magazine size to 27 (from 24)
Increased damage per round to 18 (from 15)
Increased delay between bursts to 260ms (from 133ms)

Ok so then, how does the burst delay work? Does that take place AFTER the 3rd shot has been fired in a burst? Or do I have to wait the remaining seconds before I can fire another shot? For the BR 16 for example, do I need to wait 150 ms before I can fire another burst?

This is stuff I want to know the specifics of, since it’s important if I want calculate damage, and see if the burst rifles are on paper, truly op as people think they are.

Not sure of my results , but they are close from DB stats.
For the BR-16 ,
800 RPM mean 1 bullet shot every 75ms , then a burst shot every 225ms , which is close to what DB staff call “delay between bursts”.
When i count the time of a burst , i count the delay between bursts AND the time needed to shoot the entire burst , like this

  • First burst = 1st shot , bullet delay , 2nd shot , bullet delay , 3rd shot.
  • Delay between burst

etc…
Btw the bullet delay is 75ms , the the time needed to shoot the entire burst is approximately 150ms.
Then i guess the time between the third shot of first burst and the first burst of second burst is close to 70ms.

But if what they call “delay between bursts” was 133ms before , it means the bullet delay was smaller and the “real” time between two burst was nonexistant.
