The description is confusing to me. What the command essential does is to set the reloading state/time of the given weapon. For example you can fire a missile, and make the weapon available to fire again instantly if you apply 0. Or you can delay or stop the reload event indefinitely. The 0-1 range is a percentage - the reload time is taken from the weapons's config value (either reloadTime or magazineReloadTime - not sure). The effect is one time only each - it does not modify the weapon's general reload time.

Works also for infantry weapons - probably useful weapons with longer reload time like sniper weapons or launchers: player setWeaponReloadingTime [player,currentWeapon player,0]; No idea what's point of the return value.

Note that setWeaponReloadingTime is only having effect on a current weapon state (loaded projectile) so since the projectile is fired the next one will be reverted to a weapon config defaults. To keep the fire rate speed changed over time, use this code:

player addEventHandler ["FiredMan", { params ["", "_weapon", "_muzzle"]; private _type = _weapon call BIS_fnc_itemType; private _time = -1; switch (_type select 1) do { case "SniperRifle" : {_time = 0.5}; case "AssaultRifle" : {}; case "Handgun" : {}; case "Rifle" : {}; case "SubmachineGun" : {}; case "MachineGun" : {}; case "Mortar" : {}; case "GrenadeLauncher" : {}; case "BombLauncher" : {}; case "MissileLauncher" : {}; case "RocketLauncher" : {}; case "Cannon" : {}; case "Throw" : {}; }; if (_time isEqualTo -1) exitWith {}; (vehicle player) setWeaponReloadingTime [(vehicle player), _muzzle, _time]; }];

This Event Handler makes the gun of specific type shoot at a desired rate on each weapon state (sniper rifle will shoot 50% faster in this example). For more information about weapon kinds are there, visit BIS_fnc_itemType.
