Match projectile speeds, but feel free to use varying refire rates. The refire rate is how often you can fire, while the projectile speed is how fast the bullets themselves travel.
Having weapons of multiple different projectile speeds means that they will all take a different amount of time to reach their target- your crosshairs only adjust for a single projectile speed, so it is very possible that only one or none of your shots may hit the target at all, even if they all share the same refire rate. This is not good.
With matched projectile speeds, the crosshairs will always be in the right place for the target's current course and speed, and you will hit with all your shots as long as the pilot does not evade. Even with refires accross the board, one of each even, 2.00, 3.03, 4.00, 5.05, 8.33, as long as the projectile speeds are matched they will all hit the target.
