This has been bugging me for a while now, but does anyone know what the property "EnergyDrainRate" do? The only place I remember seeing it used is in Force Choke:

EnergyDrain = "40.0"
EnergyDrainRate = "15.0"

So what does it do that "EnergyDrain" doesn't?

*Edit:
Nevermind. I did some checking and it seems that "EnergyDrain" does infact work differently depending on the fire-type of the weapon in question. When it is single trigger it is an intial drain, but if it is mutli-trigger it works like a drain rate. At least that's how it seems by looking at the scripts.

Wow do I feel dumb...

EnergyDrain is the cost of energy required to do a certain thing.
EnergyDrainRate is the cost of energy per second.

That makes sense. So the better question would be: what does "InitialEnergyDrain" do that "EnergyDrain" doesn't...? Where IntialEnergyDrain is used, EnergyDrain seems to do what EnergyDrainRate does... It's kinda strange.

try them out as well and tell me!
