How To Calculate DPS?

[Huhruhkayn]

I know theres reddit posts covering some weapons from months back. But how would I go on about calculating DPS from the fire rate and damage please? Excluding armor penetration for now. Thanks!

RPM is rounds per minute. There's 60 seconds in a minute.

Damage x RPM / 60

(number of shots per second) x (damage per shot) = hypothetical maximum DPS

Now, the rate of fire is normally listed as RPM, or rounds per minute, so you would need to divide that number by 60 in order to get the number of shots per second (on average).
