Any ways to change fire rate?(not skill level)

Without copious abuse of dfhack, no.

You "sort of" can, but only in that you can increase a projectile's top speed. In short: units will only fire once their previous projectile has hit. And a faster projectile will hit earlier.

I don't know if it used to work like that, but it doesn't now. Currently, units that fire get an internal counter set (based on weapon skill, and between 40-80 ticks), and that counter has to run out before the unit will shoot again. If you were to edit the internal counter through dfhack, you can make a unit shoot much faster and even get several projectiles in the air at the same time.

I never used it myself, but here's a dfhack script / utility that somebody made for modifying the fire rates of weapons. It's based on the ammo it uses, but you can always edit it to suit your needs.

Well, that's what I get for using outdated info.
