I had it in their weapon type thing but that would just cause a cascade of more rewrites as the calculator currently stands. As I am thinking about it, why not just make the column called "Ammo/Shot" and put 10 for the continuous weapons and 1 for everything else? Then you need no IF statement at all and you just write out the DPS timing portion like this:

Damage * (ClipSize / Ammo/Shot) / (reload + ClipSize/ROF)

and as along as Ammo/Shot=ROF for continuous weapons then there is no other differentiation needed and no IF statements to be added.

The only if statment would be for the spinup and burst weapons in the denominator.

If we wanted to indicate that this was a continuous weapon somewhere on the front sheet with like a popup warning (like maybe next to the modded magazine size or something), you would just make it conditional on IF(Ammo/Sec>1, .........)
