Anyone know how to steam weapon.meta files to change fire rate?

ive been trying to get the weapon fire rate to change, ive seen multiple servers have this feature for their guns but I can’t seem to find anything that has helped me stream these files correctly and work

ive been using weapons.meta and weaponanimations.meta

You need to add this to your fxmanifest.lua file;

files {
	"weapons.meta",
	"weaponcomponents.meta"
}
 
data_file "WEAPONINFO_FILE_PATCH" "weapons.meta"
data_file "WEAPONCOMPONENTSINFO_FILE" "weaponcomponents.meta"

I am using this same format, the resource starts but the firerate doesnt change until i restart the actual resource after the server is started.

Does it need to be an fxmanifest file? Is that where my issue is? Its currently a __resource.lua file

any ideas?
do i need a different file?
