sorry but i am a little confused about this, it seems to be that, using this formula, the slower the gun is, the higher the rating will be.

for example
lets say my carbine has 400 base DPS, 80 SAC and a speed of 2,
80 / 2 = 40
400 / 40 = 10
rating 10

now lets say the speed is 3
80 / 3 = ~26
400 / ~26 = 15
rating 15

am i doing this wrong?





Yes that is wrong, you forgot to change the DPS when the weapon speed is 3 in your example


Butthe basic premise of a 'long fight' weapon can result in a slower weapon being better.....as the limit is Action, not raw Damage. Although a slow weapon with high SAC would NOT be good
