An idea has hit me pretty hard. I bet this is pretty advanced but how do you shorten the length animations last? If I did this and quickened the attack time of the diamondback, it would give me an awesome weapon animation for a minigun. Instead of "pew pew pew" I want it to go "pewpewpewpewpewpew" with "bullets".
Hmmm I can make the attack beam last longer or shorter but how do I shorten the length of the beam itself? I want to turn the long line into a stream of seperate bullets that are fired like a projectile :(
You can't. At least not directly. You would need 2 dummy missiles fired in rapid succession just to make 1 "bullet" (and generate the beam between them), which would probably look fairly weird.
Try using the Photon Cannon missile or even the Lost Viking "blue orb" one used by LV Scouts.

Is it possible to do?
I take it you mean the blue beam? The model has an "animation speed" setting, and you can change the speed ingame via actor events.
@Photoloss: Go
I want to try and segment it into very short blasts. So, yeah, the blue beam.
Increasing attack speed to match that should work, animations tend scale in speed in some circumstances.
Otherwise, find the actor, find the event that starts the animation, play around with all "time" fields.
