No, not "the same". The point is the rebel rifle does not fire slowly, it's the Imperial rifle that fires faster.

empire's rifle is 120.4819277...% faster than the rebel one.
emp rifle takes 7 shots to kill rebel one takes 6 shots. it takes an emp 1.162 seconds to kill a unit while it takes a rebel 1.2 seconds to kill a unit. this is based on the average health of a unit which is 400. (snipers have 300, rocketeers have 550, wookiees have 800, last time i checked).
so technically empire gun is a bit better. its close either way. it takes the empire rifle an extra shot to kill yet it puts out its 7 shots before the other can put out 6.
math FTW :themoreyouknow:
Yes, math is all fine and dandy. The problem is that's as if both units are firing at eachother point blank, not moving, and aiming at the chest. Everyone is going to be different when using them. I personally have found the rebel rifle to be superior to the Imperial rifle. I don't know about you, but I aim for the head when using the rifle. The reduced damage is a pain on the imperial rifle, as I get about the same number of shots on target for both rifles.
