Question Heavy Weapon Movement Speed?

I'm trying to figure out what makes a heavy weapons slow the player movement speed and equip/unequip time. I'm hoping someone is familiar and can help.

To be specific, I've made the Assault Rifle a heavy weapon, but changing the keywords to weapon_type_heavy only seems to affect which perks increase damage. I haven't found a setting in the weapon settings or the weapon attachments that look like they would alter this.
 
Sorry you've had to wait for an answer. So far I've only meddled with melee weapons, but there's a loading screen tip that specifically says that weapon weight inversely affects draw speed, and looking in the ck the heavy weapons all have weights of 15-20 compared to the lighter <10. Maybe worth a try?
 
Thanks, yeah I've looked into that. Weapon weight doesn't affect movement speed.
I've done a keyword search through game settings for "movement, walk, heavy and slow" with nothing turning up.
As far as I can tell, the keyword "WeaponTypeHeavyGun" is mostly used for checks in Perks to determine if they affect a weapon (like Heavy Gunner damage buff).

At this point I believe I've tracked the source to Character/Movement Type in the CK, where there are several variations of NPC/Player movement type files. There are NPC_Default/Sneaking/Swimming_MT files all used by a Default Objects manager in the CK but I don't exactly know what this does. There is also a "Player_BigGun_MT" file, but "use info" doesn't lead me to where it might be used (if at all). I can't find movement types being used in any weapons, so if these movement type files do determine movement speed I'm still unclear how you would change a specific weapon's stats.
