Make shots get less accurate while firing and settle after a pause

A weapon that gets wilder the longer you hold the trigger rewards short bursts, but only if the first shot is still sharp and the recovery does not start too soon or too late. This entry gives a simple way to build that and the numbers to start from.

Why this works

Spread is a price for holding the trigger, and the reward is skill: short bursts stay sharp. That only works if the first shot is clean, and if the weapon waits a moment before calming down, so a fast gun really does lose accuracy.

When not to use it

Skip it in games where aiming should be pure skill with no randomness, such as a precision puzzle shooter, or for young players who feel cheated by misses. Use a fixed, visible aim line or a steady slow weapon instead.
