Comprehensive Weapon DPS Spreadsheet

Introduction

I'm Eerie[eeriegoesd.com], and I'd like to share a spreadsheet I put together showing the Damage-Per-Second (DPS) for every standard weapon in Resident Evil 5, with two exceptions:
  • Gatling Gun - damage varies per shot according to the Resident Evil Wiki[residentevil.fandom.com], so an accurate DPS figure isn't possible. Suggestions welcome if anyone has a reliable method.
  • Stun Rod - no public damage values are available (?).
Since the game doesn't expose fire rate values, I timed the shots per second for each weapon manually to keep the comparisons accurate.
  • For shotguns, the totals assume every pellet connects.
  • All figures are based on fully upgraded weapons.
I made this because I couldn't find much existing information on weapon DPS for RE5, and figured it was worth filling the gap.

Piercing and Critical % are not factored into these calculations.

This was tested on regular Majini only, not bosses.
