Anti long range "bullet slower" item

The basic idea is an active item similar to decay (in how it is applied) but the effect is that the target gets -40% bullet velocity for 10 seconds. This would be effective at stopping attacks from long range since you'd have to lead your shots way more. I also suggest it having a +bullet shield as a passive buff to help mitigate some of the bullets that do land.

This would likely be a tier 2 gun item, as it modifies gun it fits in that category and spirit already has so many active nerf items.

Another interesting addition could be that that item also increases the targets weapon fall off. So the weapon would deal more damage long range, but it would be very hard to hit moving targets. If the item is like this, it could even have a self cast, as the tradeoff could be worth it in some cases.
 
A minor balancing problem could be that the range of the item would have to be pretty long, since you want to be able to apply it to targets far away
 
It could also be made so it slows projectiles/etc from abilities too (or only that, and not gun). That way it can also be used to counter heroes like paradox and bebop.
