Trivia

 * The item's lore entry seems to refer to its function. Its reduction of firing rate will make fights generally take longer, but since the majority of survivors have at least one movement-related skill with a cooldown, the cooldown reduction will often make it easier to dodge attacks, and perhaps more notably, flee from unfavorable fights that may result from the player's reduced offensive capabilities.
