This seems to be a universal nerf. It's to cut down on spam in general, making you think about your shots more. Like me, I'm a neo rifle user. Reload freeze is a very very big thing for me seeing I only get 2 shots compared to most rifles that average around 15+. Make your shots count, reload in the right places. The new nerf allows easier punishes against bad reload timing. For example, it'll be easier to face souziens as you get a bigger window to counterattack every 12 shots.
