:No it doesn't. Its just a calculation involving weapon damage, clip size, attack rate (on art and sound tab) and reload time (also on art and sound tab). Its purely a convenience for developers so that they don't unintentionally create overpowered weapons. | :No it doesn't.

==Rock-It Launcher's 666 DPS and the affect of the Semi-Automatic Fire Delay Min/Max== | |||
Over at the Fallout Wikia, we're going back and forth about the Rock-It Launcher's damage. It seems we've dispelled the myth that its damage is based on the weight of the junk used as ammo. The GECK says it does 50 Damage (per hit) but has a DPS of 666 (the mark of the devil!!!). Anyway, it seems clear that 666 is a mistake, but I'm not sure where the mistake comes from because I don't know how the GECK calculates DPS. For example, the Rock-It Launcher does 50 Damage per hit, and since it's not automatic, the rate of fire is found on the Art and Sound tab under Attack Shots/Sec. In this case, 3.3333. If that's all there is to it, then the DPS should be 50 * 3.3333 = 166.665. This means it does more DPS than Vengeance (110). It just seems rediculous that a hodge-podge weapon made of scrap parts can do 50% more damage than the most technolically advanced heavy weapon in the game. | |||
Here on the main Weapon page, the Semi-Automatic Fire Delay Min/Max boxes are mentioned but not defined. Does anyone know what role they play in DPS for semi-automatic weapons? | |||
Can anyone explain: | |||
a) Why the GECK says the R-IL does 666 DPS? | |||
b) Even if the 666 is just wrong, why may it still do 167 DPS (~50% more than Vengeance)? | |||
