Talk:Synapse/@comment-66.58.182.88-20131220085814

Why does it state that this weapon does 125 damage per second, and that it has a Firing Rate of 13.3 rounds per second? By saying it that way, it could be interpreted (or misinterpreted) in two ways:



1) The weapon might do 125 * 13.3 = 1662.5 damage per second.



2) Or, if the weapon does 125 damage per second, and it fires 13.3 rounds per second, then each ‘round’ would do 125 / 13.3 = 9.39 damage per round. Multiply those numbers together and you have 125 damage per second.



So which is it?



Is it 1662.5 damage per second? – In which case, that really should be specified SOMEWHERE in the article.



Or, is it truly 125 damage per second? – Which would make me scratch my head and wonder why some genius did the math for us on this weapon ONLY?



To clarify: almost every single bloody weapon on this entire Wiki is described by giving us its actual Damage, and then giving us the Firing Rate. Usually, you can multiply these numbers together to get the Damage PER SECOND. Why, in god’s name, did someone decide to describe the Synapse using a totally different format?



I can only assume that the weapon truly does only 125 damage per second. If this is the case, will someone please rewrite the above to what it obviously should say:



<p class="MsoNormal">Damage: 9.39 damage (per round)

<p class="MsoNormal">Firing Rate: 13.3 rounds per second

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Let us multiply those numbers together ourselves to come up with the proper damage per second. Don’t just change the normal layout of the Wiki for 1 weapon; it’s confusing, totally unnecessary, and asking for trouble.
