Accuracy and Recoil on Hyperion Weapons

Shooting Hyperion Weapons moves them from Max Inaccuracy and high kick to Max Accuracy and no kick.
Unlike other weapons, recoil does not affect the kick of Hyperion Weapons.
Having lower Recoil achieves Max Accuracy faster.
Having higher Recoil Recovery slows the loss of accuracy after shooting stops.
