Burst DPS and Sustained DPS Are Different Questions
Burst DPS is rate of fire multiplied by damage - what the weapon does while the trigger is held and the magazine lasts. Sustained DPS divides the whole magazine by the time it takes to fire and reload it.
For a short window, burst is the number that matters. For a long fight, or any weapon with a small magazine and a slow reload, sustained is the honest figure and it can reorder the list completely.
