Also not that. On the carronade, for example, the reload speed for mags/sec is 0.83(...) mag/sec, instead of the 0.17 they show.

You said that the carronade took 6 seconds to reload and the reload speed if 0.17.
Okay, let's do some math.
Reloading 1 full clip (or whatever you want to call it) takes 6 seconds.
1/6 just happens to be 0.16666667 which is rounded to 0.17. That is why the reload -time- is 6 seconds, but the reload speed is 0.17
So, in this case (and all other cases) speed =/= time.

The Gatling for an other example has a reload speed of 0.2 and a reload time of 5 seconds. 1/5 = 0.2

Conclusion: Reload speed is Reloads/sec, on the carronade you reload 17% of the clip in 1 sec, on the gatling 20% in 1 sec and so on.

Understand now?

Oh man, that answered everything! Thanks a lot, this was keeping me awake.  :P

You're welcome!

Omniraptor:
The real question is, why did muse have to put some random 1/time (speed) value as the reload, instead of doing everyone a huge favor and just putting the time? It's not like I'm going to be reloading only part of a magazine any time soon, or am I?

Alistair MacBain:
There is a number of seconds for reload in the dmg matrix on the mainsite.
