Sounds cool!!...Wish I had a PC that would handle stuff like that...Oh, and the time... ...

Aaamywho, I've realised how much I agree with Kiln about the guns...

I will admit to having no idea about the DPS/Damage ratio thing...Can't work it out for love nor money...Surely the higher the damage?...But if it's a machine gun is the high DPS/low Damage better?...And as for the 4X12.5 (just an example, you know what I mean) stuff?... ...No idea...

However, the pull gun/shooting thing is just sooo satisfying...

Love me Ranger Sequoia...But I've found some new ones in the packs I bought that I may need to investigate...

Ka-blammo!!...(Technical term )...

Basically, the DPS is Damage Per Second, so how much damage a second of firing that weapon is going to do; the Dam value represents the damage caused by an individual hit, while DPS is the damage of a second of sustained firing/attacking. Weapons with low Dam value but high DPS, the rapid firing sort, are good against enemies with poor armour, as they can bring the hurt constantly but aren't as good agaisnt armoured enemies as the Damage Threshold they have will simply mean most of your shots bounce off; in that case, you want slower-firing weapons with a high Dam instead of a high DPS, as that individual Dam value is used to overcome the enemy's DT given to them by their armour. In short, if you want to fight raiders, pack an assault rifle or a machine gun. If you want to fight Brotherhood of Steel, bring an Anti-Materiel rifle.

And the 4X12.5 stuff is for weapons with spread; in that case, it fires four individual projectiles that spread out, and each one of those hits a target for 12.5 points of Dam, so if you get up close enough to mitigate the spread, the weapon will a pretty hefty 50 points of Dam.
