I believe, this is just what I could figure out, that the overall damage is the amount applied to a ship once you have defeated the shields and armor (for example to the components)
the vs. shield percentage and the vs. armor % are reduced amounts of Overall damage that are applied to Shields and Armor respectively. For a well rounded ship, you wantone gunthat's particularly good vs. shields and one vs. armor; all with the highest Overall Dmg you can find, since this is your 'base' stat for both. That way, you can take out both efficiently.

Ion Cannons are effective v shields, hence the high "v shields" number. Disruptors are good v armor. Blasters are leveled out. Go with the higer dmg number and then just decide what you want to do. If you only get one weapon, go w/ blasters. if 2, Ion and disruptors and switch as the situation dictates...
