Oxide - Modifying Gun Stats (Recoil, Sway) isn't doing anything?

I am writing a mod which I would like to increase \ decrease recoil of certain guns and change how they work.
Code:
BaseProjectile proj = item?.GetHeldEntity()?.GetComponent<BaseProjectile>() ?? null;
I use this to get the BaseProjectile component of the Gun

I then modify some stats like so
Code:
 proj.recoil.ADSScale = 1.0f;
  proj.recoil.clampPitch = 0;
  proj.recoil.movementPenalty = 0;
  proj.recoil.recoilPitchMax = 0;
  proj.recoil.recoilPitchMin = 0;
  proj.recoil.recoilYawMin = 0;
  proj.recoil.recoilYawMax = 0;
  proj.recoil.shotsUntilMax = 9999;
  proj.recoil.timeToTakeMax = 50.0f;
  proj.recoil.timeToTakeMin = 50.0f;
  proj.recoil.useCurves = true;
  for (int i = 0; i < proj.recoil.pitchCurve.length; i++)
  {
  proj.recoil.pitchCurve.keys[i] = proj.recoil.pitchCurve.keys[0];
  }
However no matter what I change any of these values to the guns seem completely unaffected.
I have a chat command setup to then log all the stats which I use before and after and can see the new values have taken effect but nothing about the gun changes at all.
