kju: 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.; Posted on May 14, 2017
Demellion: 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: while {true} do { private _muzzle = currentMuzzle player; if (_muzzle isEqualType "") then { (vehicle player) setWeaponReloadingTime [player, _muzzle, 0]; }; uiSleep 0.15; // loop speed controls the reload time }; WARNING: Current script controls muzzle speed not by reloadTime argument, but with loop speed. If the reloadTime > 0 weapon will stuck reloading. You might use alternative code for more accurate actions.
