Normally, Express Shot's cooldown resets back to maximum every time the player shoots, even if the item wasn't ready and didn't activate.
However, If the player's fire rate is high enough, you can just hold mouse1 and shoot continuously, and Express Shot will completely ignore the reset mechanic and proc on every cycle of the cooldown timer.
Shiv demonstration below. After dash-jumping I start holding M1 and keep holding it through the entire clip. Express Shot CD doesn't get reset by shooting until the firerate drops (from kdash and burst fire buffs expiring), and then it goes back to working as intended. You can see it happening either by watching Express Shot on my item list, or looking at the Express Shot icon under my crosshair (from a UI mod)

From what I tested the number above which this happens seems to be ~5 bullets per second; 2.09 bullets/s + 180% firerate for Shiv, 1.80 bullets/s + 210% firerate for Paige (I actually don't know how to calculate from firerate% back to bullets per second, but I assume that's how it works?)
yoshi pls fix
