Due to recent experience with games like Destiny and how significantly things have changed since Fallout 3 and New Vegas..I've been wondering if there are any implicit effects induced by higher/lower weapon weight. For instance: would a 10mm pistol that's heavier than a stock version of itself have reduced recoil but slower handling (draw/stow speed)? Perhaps slower reload speed?

Weapon weight increases the amount of time it takes for you to ADS (aim down sights) or "scope". This is explained in a loading screen tool-tip.
For example having a lighter scoped weapon will allow you to ADS quicker and reduces the fade-out time of the black overlay.
