so, im making a mod with several new weapons all but one work fine, this weapon is an SMG.
when i use it with vats my character just fires constantly then reloads and continues to fire long after the enemy is dead and vats wont end untill it has used all of my ammo.
is there a way i can limit how long each burst lasts or is there another fix for this problem?

What is the weapon's fire rate? That or Long Bursts could be causing the problem.
