Weapon DPS Rankings

[Xalos]

So if you put them in the shop, they would be free?

Yeah, I would have to figure out a way to fix that or otherwise I would have to calculate the DPS for them manually.

Definitely go for manual pricing. Considering the variety in the weapons that have been made, DPS is a pretty poor indicator of value, especially considering airstrikes are free while hand grenades are offering me a perfect opportunity for a Monty Python joke that I just can't think of right now. Reloading times, accuracy, special effects, even the map they're being used on and the types of players using them all factor into the actual value of a weapon in practice.

How's this?

a DPS of 0 by this script because the weapon itself isn't what creates the projectiles.

[Xalos]

Reloading times, accuracy, special effects, even the map they're being used on and the types of players using them all factor into the actual value of a weapon in practice.

Reloading times are factored into the DPS, and all the weapons I actually plan on using have very little spread.

[Aware]

What?

No. You're script is very flawed, what exactly is your math for this?

[Xalos]

You're script is very flawed...

You're complaining about the script that I specifically stated calculates the ideal scenario DPS, not what a human could realistically achieve, while failing to use the proper form of "your". A+

[SWAT One]

What about calculating the raw explosive and direct power and calculating with the fire rate using the same math?

[DrenDran]

Rocket Spammer - 22625.000
Mini-Nuke: I will not be doing this one.
Banhammer: Or this one.
Dodgeball - 0.000. What were you expecting?
CNRHKLAH-BSLFGSGL: This gun spawns additional projectiles, something the script can't easily account for. It comes in at 13.021.

You should do mininuke.
You don't have to make the text massive, just post a number.
Also, the dodgeball does do damage, it can kill a player.

[eldruF]

This is kinda dumb how the grenade didn't take into account the firing speed as you have to pull the pin and throw it... Also this isn't taking into account area of offect, which is important with explosive weapons..

[phflack]

ephi's shotgun and minigun DPS?
not the TF2 minigun, the old one by kaje

[Xalos]

Also this isn't taking into account area of offect, which is important with explosive weapons..

...the high-explosive grenade doesn't deal anything BUT radius damage. If the script didn't calculate AoE (which you misspelled as AoO), then it would calculate the HE's DPS as zero.

Typed it on my phone, I meant effect

Maybe wrench was a case of someone switching to wrench before the hit connected with another weapon?

that's my question. How did the wrench have any DPM at all?
