Stop players from swapping weapons to fire again right away

Fire, switch to another weapon, switch back, and fire again with no wait: a trick every shooter player finds in a day. This entry shows where the wait must live so that switching costs time and never saves any.

Why this works

A wait belongs to the thing that caused it, not to the person holding it. If the weapon remembers when it will be ready, no amount of swapping can change that, and the cost of switching can simply be added on top.

When not to use it

Skip it when quick switching is a skill you want to reward, as in a game built around swapping between tools mid-fight. Then let the swap itself be the cost and shorten the equip time instead of hiding it.
