It's awkward and difficult to get a good fire rate manually because the gun goes on cooldown after each time you fire it. With Vile Acceleration the cooldown is ~0.197s which is still significant. Unless you sync up your clicks very closely with that cooldown, you will lose a lot of fire rate. For example, if you click at a rate of 6 clicks per second you willl lose half of the inputs to the cooldown because you're badly out of sync with it. You will end up with 3 shots per second in that case. But if you clicked at a rate of 5 per second you would not lose any inputs and you'd get 5 shots per second.

That's not a unique property of this gun. It's just the result of a fire rate of ~5 per sec or so. It's really awkward to try and manually sync with it, and this game has no input buffering.

With guns that have a fire rate of like 9-10/sec the cooldown is much shorter so you can't physically click rapidly enough to lose inputs.
