Well I can help you figure out the damage calc. If I didn't know that then there is no way I could have made the calculator to begin with. So, ask away what you are wondering.

And, yes, what I am trying to figure out is exactly how long it would take a spin up weapon to reach its max speed. So, here is how it works... Each spin up weapon has a ROF.

They are:


 * 1) Supra - 12.5
 * 2) Gorgon - 12.5
 * 3) Deth Machine - 8.33

Then they have a rating for bullets to spin up. They are 15 for Gorgon and Deth Machine and only 8 for Supra.

Finally, they have a spin-up range which is a MP for the base ROF. Deth and Gorgon are .2 to 1. Supra is .1 to 1.

So, let's take the Supra as an example.

It starts at 1.25 ROF and takes 8 bullets to ramp up to 12.5. The difficult part is that the rate of fire graph over time is not linear. It is not evenly incremental. What is stable however is that rate of acceleration of the rate of fire.

This.... takes calculus to answer. And while I did do this in HS, that was about 16 years ago now and I don't remember a lot of it, nor do I have my notes still. I started doing some online tutorials to jog my memory and then got distracted with continuous weapons, burst weapons, and the insanity of melee weapons.

The good thing is, unlike melee weapons, I know exactly what is going on. I just forget the math. If I can remember the math or find someone who knows it already, we are in business.
