What are the dps of vanilla weapons
I was wondering what the Damage per second of each vanilla weapon are so that I can measure the total damage output of vehicles for a local server event. These are the weapons I need values from:

small grid gattling
small grid rocket launcher
reloadable rocket launcher
small grid warhead
small grid grinder
other small grid weapons if i didnt list them.

These values will be used to balance the total damage of vehicles used in the event and try to make it as fair as possible.

I have a weapon/armor test game and that's what I use. You could also look at the sbc files (ammo.sbc) and see the gatling guns have a damage of 150 and missiles of 500.

Edit: And you can get rate of fire from the wiki along with damage ratings

So why don't you test this yourself? Set up some armor blocks and shoot them.

that does not give me a number, that just gives me a different size hole for each. I need a measurable number for these that can be used to balance an event...

the wiki provides the info i need to calculate the dps, and testing doesnt help with calculating the dps of warheads since they destroy blocks instantly. thanks for the help.
