why does a legendary pump shotgun have less firepower than a epic auto shotgun with same level?

the legendary with its stats upgraded all the way kills very slow but it looks cool tho and its mods are cool

Firepower is random for the guns you find.
Different tiers have different ranges, and higher tier guns have a higher maximum.
Legendary guns can reach 99.4k FP at level 50, while epics can only get up to around 95k.
Despite this there is some overlap in the tiers; a low-rolled Legendary will have less FP than a high-rolled epic.

Also make sure you're comparing similar types of shotgun.
A pump action shotgun deals different damage from an automatic shotgun since they have different fire rates and ranges.

of course they are different, but with the higher dmg pump shotguns have would make sense for the firepower to also be higher especially a legendary compared to epic

Firepower is a separate stat from the weapon's bullet damage, if that's what you're asking about. Firepower is a multiplier and has nothing to do with the type of weapon, or how much damage it deals per shot. Only its level.

A Lv 50 Rifle in One Shot mode deals about 35,000 damage per shot.
A Lv 50 SMG in Tactical mode can deal around 3,000 damage per shot.
Both guns can have the same exact FP and that's entirely normal.
The Rifle might drop with lower FP than the SMG. That is also entirely normal.

Because Firepower is not a figure calculated from the gun's actual damage. It's an entirely separate stat that the gun drops with, which has its own range based on the gun's rarity and level.

from my experience weapon with higher firepower deals more dmg and kills faster even if the dmg stat is lower than another that has higher dmg but lower firepower, and im also starting to understand more things now like if a assault rifle has close range damage stat that it does its most damage at close range turning it into a close range weapon and does nothing at the range that a assault rifle should. if im wrong on that then let me know lol

The range for Firepower of L50 weapons is just rediculous.
They range from 72k to 99,4k
But i have the feeling, that the firepower actually doesn mean anyhting because you get a damage bonus based on your gear. if your gear bonus is at or below your gun firepower you get 0=>100% damage bonus. If its higher you get the difference as percentage bonus.
Weapon has ~100k and your equip with mods gives you ~130k you get ~130% damage bonus.
These buffs where the reason it was better to equip a low level weapon and rely on the damage buff to get insanely high bonus damage on the weapon. (now they fixed it so you get either the same or less bonus damage compared to actually having a weapon with higher firepower)

higher firepower with my experience has been outputting more dmg but i also have alot of bonus firepower on all my gear, so i just stick with higher firepower guns since they seem to do better than ones with lower firepower and higher damage, just my experience
