for TL;DR read - DPS Love is retarded.

You are all retarded if you think DPS means everything, this game is not that simple. And OP is 100% retarded for compairing DPS of a pistol to a rifle. The mod scale is completly differnt. For instance : 90% multishot vs 180% multishot [doubled with a pistol]. How about punch through? Good luck with a pistol.

A better comparison for you. This vs afuris. The afuris is base 300 DPS, however they are next to useless because you can only fire them for 3.2 seconds all out. Even burst fire they go through your ammo like it does not exist. And the moment you attack something with armor they do shit for damage.

DPS only means anything if you stand up to something with no armor or resistance to your damage type and unload 100% of all of your fire into it. Enjoy trying that on a level 70+ corrupted gunner without a full team running corrosive projection. Don't worry, I'm sure your team will res you.

Extreme example - I can have a weapon that does 10000 DPS by simply taking a weapon that does 1 damage and make it fire at 10000 rounds per second. This sounds cool right until you relize you can only carry ~600 rounds or that it has .001 accuracy. Or that the 1 damage per round will be 100% nullified by armor.

There is theoretical DPS and practical damage. Do these do prictical damage? No. A thrown weapon that has travel time and an arc of fire, and on top of this not great damage to start with, but here is the rub that will get all of your "I love DPS" panties in a twist even more. None of that matters. They will do enough damage to make them useable in any planet hop missions - and if you want this type of weapon this is the best you will be able to get currently.
