The server will rate limit your firing if it exceeds a set range, this means if you fire too quickly on the client only a sane amount of shots happen on the server which the sane value is then passed onto the clients.
The client either doesnt do this or does it badly as you can fire as fast as you want, this gets corrected by the server by returning the energy or ammo you didnt actually shoot but it provides an odd client side experience and should be addressed client side as well
