* all values have a accuracy +- 0.5 seconds. All are stopped by hand and a simple watch. In my opinion it doesn't make sense to use a more precise timer because each human has a specific response (especially me, I suck in response) time which depends on many factors. Due to that, each value has been measured 3 times and an average value has been chosen for this table. So if you read something like 4-5 sec. the measured times were somewhere between 4-5 seconds (e.g. 4, 4 and 5 seconds).
** The measured time intervals may vary due to the visible area. The firing rate depends on your actual FPS. So if you look into the sky you will have a higher rate of fire than it might be if you look into a complex scene.
*** these values may be inaccurate due to the testers rheum and gout :-)
times measured and table created by ibgfogpuaf aka. hafenfotze. only times re-read for search of faults. text may be buggy and in bad english.
