I'm not sure what the sheet is based on, but I calculate this weapon to be at 30.1K DPS with a 95% corrosive build (1x90 & 2x60 mods).

Hornet Strike, Barrel Diffusion, Lethal Torrent, Primed Pistol Gambit, Primed Target Cracker, Pathogen Rounds, Pistol Pestilence, Jolt

D/B = Damage per Bullet, B/S = Bullets per Second

D/B = 36

HS: 36*3.2 = 115.2

BD&LT: 115.2*2.8 = 322.56

PR&PP&Jolt: 332.56*3.1 = 999.936

PTC&PPG: 15%*2.65 * 2*2.1 = 39.75% * 4.2 = 1.6695

Total = 2.6695 * 999.936 = 2669.329152

D/S = D/B*B/S = 2669.329152 * 11.3 = 30163.4194176

And now for the footnote~

Of course, theoretical DPS doesn't really matter so much until you consider that this weapon is highly accurate, and so it's theoretical DPS and true DPS are very close numbers. This wouldn't apply to weapons such as bows, boltor, lex, etc, since they're harder to aim with - but this weapon is easy enough to handle that it has a reliable DPS related to theoretical DPS.

Then, consider that this weapon has almost no puncture. This is good, since puncture procs are massively inferior to impact or slash procs. Slash is great because, unlike puncture, it actually kicks through armour, impact is great because it is target-control that can be changed to crowd control. Due to the high impact ratio, this weapon could have PR changed to Seeker and it would be a crowd dissipating monstrocity of a weapon, especially against Corpus, Infested and Orokin - as it's damage ratio even with full Corrosive is still only average against Grineer.

So, anyway, with a 95% status chance build using BD. LT and 2 status mods and such high Impact damage, this weapon is highly able to control targets effectively and apply status effects - however it's critical split (15%2.0x) is still viably high. 10%2.0x is the minimum critical split to be able to build critical at all, so at 15%2.0x this weapon is clearly able to do it more effectively than it would if it had simply more elemental mods on.

Very good weapon overall. Superior status and damage to the Braton Prime with 2x60 & 2x120 (1488 DPS over 1315 and 95% over 50%). The damage split of this weapon makes it as effective as the Braton Prime against Infested and Orokin, while being as effective as it is against Corpus, against the Grineer - and being as effective as it is against Grineer, against the Corpus. In other words, it's pretty much a Braton Prime with a massive status boost at the cost of some magazine capacity. And we all can agree that the Braton Prime is a very neat weapon with plenty of potential and easy to handle, so I shouldn't need to hammer home any further just how comfortable this weapon is to use.
