Conclusion
Every weapon sold in an outfitter at the start of the game — 100 weapons — with damage per second against shields and hull, range, energy and heat per second, ammo and where it's sold.
DPS is calculated from each weapon's reload time and per-shot damage (including submunitions), so you can compare guns of different fire rates directly. Remember the energy and heat columns: a weapon you can't power or cool won't reach its DPS.

DPS = (60 ÷ reload) × damage per shot, adding submunitions; range = velocity × lifetime (plus submunition range). Anti-missile turrets show 0 DPS because they shoot missiles, not ships. Special firing modes (bursts, homing, blast radius) aren't reflected. Numbers come from the game's data files at the commit of 2026-10-03, for the galaxy as it is at the start of a new game (story events can change shops and governments).
FAQ
Guns or turrets?
Guns fire forward; turrets aim themselves. Each ship has a limited number of gun ports and turret mounts, so compare DPS per outfit space in the table.
Why do some weapons list ammo?
Secondary weapons such as missiles need ammunition bought separately.
Why can't my ship use its weapons fully?
Check energy and heat: if your generators and coolers can't keep up, your weapons can't keep firing at full rate.
