Thanks Tawd, you answered them very clearly. 
I know how DPS is calculated, however the calculation is irrelevent because it doesn't account for accuracy or the modifiers and SAC costs on skills. Also it fails to consider whether you have two seperate timer shots you can spam like crazy.
Guide: Pistol buying and crafting - Why DPS is meaningless.
It has also been brought up that perhaps maximum damage isn't necessarily even (as) important, as as long as you have ultra low sac and speed, you'll still be outputting a higher amount of damage per second. Of course you get a resounding DPS of 2 if you have no action to support your shots. I'll stick with a low sac high damage pistol though until theres concrete proof in that.

....
Is that why a lvl 4 slice component that adds a max 12% speed bonus affecting DPS has been sold for 1 million credits and I have another interested party for the same component willing to pay the exact same price?
My question is so I may determine the theoretical DPS on a weapon should I wish to use the component for my self versus sell it to someone.DPS may not be important to you or perhaps you just don't know how to calculate it.ANYWAYWould someone please answer my toally relevant question?Thanks
