Forum:Can someone explain the difference?

Can someone explain the difference between DMG and DPS? I know what they stand for I just don't understand how they are different.

if a weapon has low damage and high dps, than enemy's are more likely to take less damage due to having higher damage thresholds, like if a weapon has 5 dmg and 100 dps, then it is good on unarmored enemy's but if an enemy has 10 damage threshold then the bullets generic damage of 5 wont be able to fully pierce the armor, and thus does near to no damage, its best to have some high dmg low dps weapon like a sniper rifle just in case you run into a enemy with good defense, i like gobi sniper rifle/all american ithinkimaddicted 08:38, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

DPS is the total of damage caculated multiplying DMG*Atk/Sec, each atk/sec applies the DR the enemy armor has, thus [Insert above response here] Wertoret 12:34, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
