except the correct math is 6 / 0.75

it's technically not your fault. if you read the bonus on hulls and modules, you will notice it says something like "7.5% increased rate of fire per level". technically, this statement is wrong. rate of fire is measured in shots / time unit, so if you increase it, you would expect having to multiply by 1 + the bonus. how the stat ACTUALLY works is it reduces the time between shots by the given percentage.
to make the difference more clear: if you had a ship with a 100% bonus, it would not shoot twice as fast but infinitely fast. a laser boat with t1 crystals and 100% bonus to "rate of fire" would oneshot everything, or more likely crash the game.

i just took a peek at WoT game mechanics. the most accurate analogy to rate of fire mechanics in eve is the gun rammer. it provides a 10% bonus to reload time. imagine it gave you a 50% bonus instead of a 10% bonus. your total dps would not go up by 50% but would actually double, since you can get 2x more shots off in the same time.
