Simple (sortable) Spreadsheet for all TTK Legendary Weapons (x-post from /r/DestinyTheGame)

I noticed something odd with the 32 rate of fire (RoF) hand cannons when looking at your sheet and /u/exxtrooper 's sheet. Maybe someone else has already answered this question before but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Do some 32 RoF Hand Cannon's actually fire faster than other 32 RoF Hand Cannon's? Keeping in mind that all Hand Cannons have a Crit Multiplier of 1.50x, here is a table with data from the destiny DB / your spreadsheet and data from the great spreadsheet made by /u/exxtrooper showing The Taken King Hand Cannons with a RoF stat of 32:

Hand Cannon RoF Impact exxtrooper's Crit dmg exxtrooper's RPM exxtrooper's Crit Time to Kill
The Water Star 32 68 86 138 0.86 seconds
The Water Star (Adept) 32 68 86 138 0.86 seconds
Zaouli's Bane 32 71 86 138 0.86 seconds
Harrowed Zaouli's Bane 32 71 86 138 0.86 seconds
Appellant III 32 68 77 164 0.73 seconds
The Revelator 32 68 77 164 0.73 seconds
Kumakatok HC4 32 74 77 164 0.73 seconds
Down and Doubt 00-0 32 74 77 164 0.73 seconds

Notice how the bottom four Hand Cannon's show a higher RPM even though all the Hand Cannons have a RoF of 32. Because all of these Hand Cannon's need at least 3 bullets to kill in PvP without Luck in the Chamber procs, having that slightly faster RoF helps the bottom four Hand Cannon's have a faster theoretical TTK even when accounting for the variance in the impact stat.

Do we know why some 32 RoF Hand Cannons actually shoot faster than other 32 RoF Hand cannons or is exxtrooper's data somehow off? Sorry if these questions are dumb.
