In it's simplest form:
Damage mod on the gun * ammo amount(the kinetic + thermal damage) = Damage per shot
60 / Rate of Fire = How many shots in a 60 second time period.
Damage per shot * Shots in 60 seconds = Damage in 60 seconds
Damage in 60 seconds / 60 = Damage per Second
Exmaple:
5(damage mod) * 20 (made up ammo damage) = 100 damage a shot
60 / 2.5 = 24 shots in 60 seconds
100 * 24 = 2400 damage in 60 seconds
2400 / 60 = 40 damage a second
Per gun.

My guess, if you're using them on a ship with bonus's to med hybreds (rax?), would be heavy electrons. Without, I dont know, but they would be pretty close.

Why overcomplicate it?
(Damage mod * ammo damage) / RoF = DPS

a few unescisary steps there  .
Instead of all this:
60 / 2.5 = 24 shots in 60 seconds
100 * 24 = 2400 damage in 60 seconds
2400 / 60 = 40 damage a second
just go:
100 / 2.5 = 40 damage in a second
Unless you really want to know how many shots you fire in a minute and all that.

might be worth remembering that the smalls will track much better, but have a shorter range

Because calculating each step allows me to make adjustments as needed for reloading times (stupid non energy turrets). If you can simplify the formula that would allocate/include reloading time variables, I'll love you for it.

you have a damage bonus that will swing things heavily towards the heavy electrons then.
however, fitting lights will give you a buttload of grid to play with (1600mm plate)
also, why only 4 guns?

cos i love having a med nos on, gives me some sense of security, albeit its probably a bad idea. Im still gettting to grips with the rax and my skill limitations.

a seperate formula would be best.
Ammo held = 200 (a)
Fire rate = 2s (f)
reload time = 10s (r)
= r / ((a * f) + r)
will give you what % of your time is spent reloading.
200 * 2 = have to reload every 400s
so 10 out of every 410 seconds is spent reloading.
10 / 410 = 0.0243904 ......
so 2.43904% of your time is spent reloading.

Ahh, hadn't thought of that because I don't usually spend to much time thinking about how reloading time factors in. There is usually a large enough difference in comparative terms that I don't need to determine what my dps loss from reloading is in order to pick the better weapon out.
That and reloading isn't usually something done that often. I think most turrets I use (mostly a blaster/rail user myself) don't have me reloading but once every 2.5 or so minutes, if not longer.
But, if the calculations need to be that exact then yes, you can't skip those steps.

in my experience when i fly a deimos most fights are over before I fire 25 rounds and I have 200 loaded so reloading I wouldn't factor that in

Fair enough, I can see that point
