that is because you have a reload of 1.0 second and a fire rate of 1.5 (1+1/1.5) so 1.66 seconds between shots. with this equiped it will be 1.0 seconds and .96 (1+1/.96) so 2.04 seconds between shots.

Fire rate effects the firing animation on the weapon which has to complete, then the reload animation will run, and then you can fire again.
