When I saw the stats for it I was disappointed, cause it looks like the only benefit of the Medicine Stick was the new ironsights and the 3 extra damage. At first I thought I was delusional when I thought it felt faster, saw the DPS number showing as higher, but knew DPS is prone to sometimes being off and never saw the wiki mention that the Medicine Stick has improved firing speed, but no, it definitely is slightly faster than the Brush Gun. Just tested it out, firing both back to back, then drank Rushing Water to compare the speed of them like that.

So yay! :celebration: The unique Brush Gun does indeed have a noticeable improvement to DPS and a reason to get it other than the ironsights.
