These vehicles apparently have no warmup time at all for their gunner seats. After failing to run me over twice in a one-manned G-wagon, a wayward blufor player then jumped into the gun and started laying down fire before the vehicle had even stopped rolling.

I assume its like this because it's an m240 (an infantry weapon) and not a big .50 cal so it doesn't take as long to setup.
Also when you have the m240 as an infantry it takes like 1.5 or something seconds to set up so I don't think there's really a point for having that small delay before firing when you're in a vehicle.

Climbing out of the driver's seat, into the gunner position before having to check the weapon and/or load it takes less than 1.5 seconds? Not to mention it's primarily meant as a balance feature so you can't drive around solo and instantly start shooting at people. I highly doubt it's not a bug or oversight.

I believe the delay was to simulate 'getting in' or 'changing seats', not 'setting up' the gun, as I'm pretty sure with .50's you can just pull the hammer(?) back and start rocking too. It was probably just an oversight/omission in the delay python code.
