Red eclipse wep vars

[luiboy20]

hi, i'm luiboy20 and i have aquestion about the ingame wep variables.
if i were to edit the variables, what would happen?
would the alteration only take effect in a private game?
or would it take effect in public games but only effect my weapons and not everyone else's?
this has been bugging me since i 1st looked at them and i was wondering whether or not it would be considered "cheating" to alter the weapon variables to reduce certain things like reload speed and fire rate

If you are playing offline, you are only changing the variables for that session. To change variables in online matches you need to be a server administrator, or have the necessary level auth level. Don't worry, you are not cheating! These variables will reset at the end of your play session and apply to *everyone* who is playing with you.

thank you, i've been wondering about those for ages. glad to know that they won't affect me when i'm online unless i'm the server admin.
i didn't want to get banned for cheating.
