Projectile Launcher Comparison Pages
L1	L2	L3	L4	L5	L6	L7	L8	L9

This Comparison chart is useful for helping you select a better Projectile Launcher. Check an individual unit's page for more details. All values are for weapons of Maximum Percentage quality ("Max%"), where that value is applicable. Max% possible quality values are typically 200% for Manufacturable weapons, 125% for Non-Manufacturable ("NonMf") drop-only guns, and 100% for V'rix-modified (which are also NonMf) and some mission-reward ones.

Comparison Table Notes

DPS = Damage Per Second. Note that a fast-firing weapon, even though it might deal out less damage, can disrupt a mob from employing its psionic effects against you.
EPS = Energy Per Second. Make sure your energy use doesn't exceed your reactor's recharge rate!
MPAS = Minutes Per Ammo Stack (how long it will take to fire off a full stack of ammunition).
NonMf = A Non-Manufacturable item, not available at 200% quality.

The rows of NonMf items are highlighted with a pale-red color.

Negs = passive de-buffs which negatively affect you, rather than an enemy.
Item headings in red indicates values in that column are calculated entirely on the Wiki, starting with the 100% quality values from the Net-7 Database.

Entire rows in red indicate items which are no longer available or never implemented in the emulator.
