It's still fun to see how high you can get it.
Besides there's always the chance that specials get changed. Just look at rapid fire, right now it's a weaker attack than improved leg shot. But it would be a lot stronger if it hit for the same amount but had a much faster recycle time like it's name suggests. And finally worthy of the master box it comes in.
IMO 3 second timers is a last resort to allow the code to be pushed to live without unbalancing everything. I'd bet they intended to balance all attacks with specific timers but ran out of time.

DPS doesn't mean anything.
What's the min/max dmg and sac?
Most people get their ModDPS up really high by slapping on spd PUs, but the weapon will never actually shoot that fast. Others get weapon DPS up there but when they are used with specials will drain action so fast that you spend more time waiting to shoot than shooting...at which point...they are useless.

Ohh and give us the stats without the PU. There are many different types of PUs, and we dont know what you are using to be able to compare the carb to others.

DPS means absolutely nothing. If you want to show off a weapon give us the unpupped stats including SAC.

LOL, somewhat abrupt responses, but fair. You'll find most people on this forum don't recognize DPS, especially modified DPS, as a benchmark for a weapon.

your right DPS doesnt really mean much. it is just a calculation.... How ever Speed dpes matter. if u have a high damage weapon with a good speed u should watch how quick your rabged shot kills stuff.. no need to spam specials so no action lose time.....

Asking the question if you read any of the postings above probably is totally in vain?

High speed FTW. Pop some Blob Candy and let loose with several specials in a row.

I can still out damage you with a SAC PU and Blob candy....mainly because I will be shooting as fast as you and not haivng nearly the drain.

That all depends on the SAC, Speed and Damage of both weapons in question.
