[quote="Rat Convoy"]Well, after [url=http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=6960]this mission,[/url] and Cheetron's mission, we've got Black Magic down to less than 42 seconds but more than 23 seconds... This is going to be a pain in the aft to find these recharge rates, we're gonna need a lot of mission results to get these narrowed down; and damage is gonna be even more of a pain because there are so many variables...

Thanks to everyone who is helping out, and keep 'em coming!

[url=http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=6980]Stormcutter shows the recharge rate on BBs is definitely less than 27 seconds.[/url]

We now have BBs to less than 18 seconds and BM to somewhere between 31 and 49 seconds...

Trying out the Variable-Caliber Machine Gun:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=6863

A good match to start figuring out the baseline damage on the new BBs, 10 STR BBs vs. 0 armor.

The Fusion Powered Photon Rifle's recharge is longer than 31 seconds:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7061

The Energon Crossbow's recharge is more than 22 seconds but less than 36, and BBs once again show a recharge less than 18 seconds:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7064

BBs recharge longer than 7 seconds, but I think that was pretty obvious...
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7112

Dirge Gun longer than 12 seconds and less than 31 seconds:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7113

A useless test of the Variable-Calibre Machine Gun's capabilities, but this arena match does show the damage of a 3 STR BB vs. no armor.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=6956

Energon Crossbow is longer than 27 seconds, the fastest in this mission is 36; and since Rolltide said he had a 34 we're currently looking at between 27 and 34 seconds. Also seems to do very respectable damage.

Test of the Dual-Bladed Sword (5 STR) - 30-40 damage against 3 tons of Iron:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7104

Another test of the Variable-Caliber Machine Gun... It seems to suck. And if weapon accuracies hadn't been disproved, I'd start to believe that this one was highly inaccurate. Second bout in a row where there were tons of misses against a lower-speed target.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7117

BM recharge longer than 41 seconds - given earlier test missions I'm placing Black Magic recharge rate at 42 seconds.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7234

BBs recharge down to less than 14 seconds, dang these things are fast compared to most of the other "short" recharge weapons. No wonder they were so good when they actually did damage:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7207

AQD, longer than 13 and less than 46... It's a start...
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7280

GREAT AQD test - recharge is between 35 and 37. Damage does not impress.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7256

Energo-Sword test - less than 39 seconds recharge, decent damage:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=7470

Direct-Currect Electric Laser - still not charged at 59 seconds... Means the minimum time is up from greater than 55 to greater than 59 seconds. Think this one's a loser.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7492

Considering previous tests of the AQD, along with this, I'm placing AQD recharge at 36 seconds.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7691

Metalliko Sword test - decent damage, recharges faster than 22 seconds and less than 30 seconds.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7881

Laser-Blazer Broadsword - recharge between 19 and 33 seconds.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=8610

BBs charge faster than 8 seconds:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=7975

DECL slower than 59 seconds:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=8666

Metalliko sword test, recharge faster than 30, only posting because my last result was the wrong arena bout.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=8716

Metalliko Blade's minimum up to 20.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=8781

Energo Sword's minimum up to 12
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=8731

Metallikato Blade's (quit changing the name! :P ) minimum up to 23.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=8840

Energon Crossbow's recharge more than 27, less than 30.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=8842

DCEL recharge rate less than 1:04.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=8789

This mission being kept for my own personal info, as I've been curious why so many Cons are going unarmed yet haven't removed the stats to actually equip the weapons... If anyone tries to tell me that brawling does more damage than a weapon attack at equivalent strength, this mission seems to indicate that's false as Grimlock clearly does much more damage with his energon crossbow than kicking against the same opponent.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=8809

BBs recharge down to 13 seconds. These things are practically no-recharge.
