Hi. I've noticed you've been editing the High Dragunfire page a lot with updating the stats. The information you're posting on there is incorrect from my testing.

My method of calculating the fire rate and the DPS is like so:

I first measured how much time it took to drain a clip from full. This took 2 seconds. The gun has 30 shots per magazine, and thus I divided 2 seconds by 30 shots resulting in a fire rate of 0.066666666... which I shortened to 0.0666666. To calculate the DPS, take the total damage per magazine (5 x 30 = 150), the 2 seconds fire time and the 1.6 second reload time, and do 150 / (2 + 1.6), which results in a DPS of 41.666666..., which I shortened to 41.7.

I used a blank character with no other items for my testing, as well as a Scouter with the damage up removed.

I'm not sure where you got your calculations from, because even assuming your fire rate of 0.05555555 is correct, it doesn't end up at a DPS of 69.4:

0.05555555... x 30 = 1.6666666... | 1.66666666... + 1.6 = 3.26666666... | 150 / 3.26666666... = 45.918...

Oh, also: Your data against the Bullet King boss is worthless because of the boss DPS cap. https://enterthegungeon.fandom.com/wiki/Bosses#Notes

Not only that, but the video you analyzed used Marine, which starts with Military Training, which reduces reload times, thus messing with DPS even further. (Actually, on further inspection, you forgot to calculate reload times entirely.)

Please get back to me on this topic.


Please also use more than just a Retromation video as your source? Videos are an unreliable source for analysis, and you should be testing these things in-game yourself for accurate results (like I do).
