Charge attack differences between Nova/Umbra driver and status dealing drivers?

So, looking at the wiki:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Nova_Driver
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Umbra_Driver
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Storm_Driver
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Hail_Driver
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Magma_Driver
Other than the differences in status and damage, I noticed that the basic attack and charge attack description between the nova/umbra driver and the storm/magma/hail driver seemed to be different. It could easily be because of different users editing the wiki, but I just want to make sure.
From the nova/umbra driver:
"Basic Attack
A 2-shot combo. Each bullet will ricochet twice and damage adjacent monsters.
[edit] Charge Attack
A large bullet which will split into four smaller bullets upon impact. Two bullets split off at right angles from the original shot, two fire back towards the gunner at a 45 degree angle, similar to previous versions of the gun. Each smaller bullet will ricochet twice."
From the storm/magma/hail driver:
"Basic Attack
A 2-shot combo, chance of Fire(/Shock/Freeze) on hit. Each bullet can ricochet up to two times, damaging adjacent monsters.
[edit] Charge Attack
A charged ball, chance of Fire(/Shock/Freeze) on hit. Upon explosion, it splits into four normal bullets that can deal additional damage."
Is there a difference between the weapons other than the status, damage type, and damage differences?

confirm
In case you were waiting for confirmation of Skepticraven's confirmation: He is right. They're all identical.
Perhaps the discrepancy arose because of the need to mention status on the fire, shock, and freeze versions.
By the way, my favorites are Umbra and Nova or Storm. From what I've seen Magma is also fine. I find Hail Driver frustrating. The freeze works well on the charge attack. But regular shots rarely freeze, and when they do the next ricochet or shot often unfreezes anyway. Fire and shock don't have this problem.

Thanks!
"It could easily be because of different users editing the wiki, but I just want to make sure."
You are correct in that assumption. It is more likely that one or two of the pages were updated and the others were forgotten [since one update does not reflect all the other pages].
"Is there a difference between the weapons other than the status, damage type, and damage differences?"
No.
