API doesn't return right value on Gauss Rifle burst (and Revenant?)

    I wanted to investigate on something Wrel refered to in the Jul 23 update notes, specifically if the line:



    was or not a typo.
    So i tried checking on the API, and it says, unlike the other 5 burst guns which are all reported to have this value at the proper 0.75x, that the first shot recoil still has a 2x multiplier: http://census.soe.com/get/ps2/fire_mode?c:lang=en&item_id=7101&c:join=fire_mode_2

    In-game though, the Gauss Burst does indeed feel like it has less first shot recoil than it's default counterpart.

    I thought the API drew its data from the same source as the games file, which in turn made me wonder if the absence of foregrip effect in the stats for the Revenant directive BR (unlike its NC/TR counterparts, and despite model displaying it) was an API bug of the same nature, or something intentional:

    - Revenant stats
    - Guardian and DMR-99
