bayonet/chainsaw recharge skills?

[snuggleform]

The ones that reduce cooldown on kill; how come they don't affect kills by bayonet/chainsaw themselves?? (i.e. only gunshot or execute kills reduce cooldown).

The skills goes on cooldown after use not before, so it won't trigger recharge talent effect.

But it's inconsistent; look at the scout skill that reduces frag grenade cooldown on kill. It clearly says there the kill has to be made by a shot. Why not just word it that way if that's how it works for all skills?

Because then the -1 turn to bayonet/chainsaw base CD skill would be pointless.

No, you could get interrupted before the chainsaw hits and thus the -1 turn to chainsaw base CD is different than actually having to kill something to reduce the CD.
