Fast Shot perk lowering To Hit Chance ?

Hi guys,

I am a fan of that perk since the day I understood how it works (thanks to a post by Longknife).
Basically, it's counter-intuitive between Fast Shot and Trigger Discipline.
Fast Shot is better on sniper weapons (because the increase in spread is negligeable) while you would be tempted to chose Trigger Discipline for a sniper character.

I was looking at the exact way the perk works in the GECK and it has 4 effects :
- Gun Spread x 1.2 (OK, that's in the description of the perk).
- Hit Chance x 0.8 (WHAT ?!)
- Attack Speed x 1.2 (Again, it's in the description)
- AP cost x 0.8 (To mimic the attack speed increase when you are in VATS).

My question are :
- Was I the only one to not know that Fast Shot decrease hit chance by 20% ?
- Is the decreas in hit chance applicable only in VATS, only outside VATS or both ?
