I posted this in the wrong forum earlier, and got no replies obviously, so now I'm posting it where it belongs.
I've been making a super shotgun. I've tried my best to make it behave like a shotgun, but it just isn't working! I have a few problems:
I can't seem to find the right rate of fire, so that the rate is the same as the normal shotgun.
The reload does not behave like a shotgun; it is instant, has the wrong sound, (despite my best efforts to change it) and does not have the correct animation.
FIXED: It is in the pistol menu, and I can't seem to change it. I've looked through the documentation everywhere and I've gotten nothing. I'd like it to be in the shotgun menu.
It only shows three shots when I shoot, when in reality it is shooting 99 bullets.
I'm sure there are a lot of other problems I haven't found yet. I was able to fix most of them, but these four have stumped me. Sorry if the answer is totally obvious or something; although I'm skilled at Java, Lua is completely new to me.
Here is my current code:

Sorry I'm asking so many questions.
Don't use <pre> use [lua]
Ok, I used [lua]. But, I still need help. How do I fix this?

Hello? Anyone?
Okay, I've been making progress on my own. Never mind, at least for a while until I get stuck again.
