    Damage per second is what it should be.

    Damage per second is what it probably stands for. In BP, it doesn#t say DPS but only damage(and it is damage per shot)

    In BP, you have to calculate the DPS yourself from the accuracy, damage, firing rate, etc. that they give you. In VC apparently they've decided to just give you the final answer instead.

    DPS doesn't count in accuracy, DPS is only damage/time  DPSA is damage/time*accuracy

    It is most definitely Damage Per Second.

    Im still testing, but I will have an extensive numbers post in the future.

    You have to calculate in the range. The pulse laser will get 1 or 2 shots of before the beam can
