Ok now the Tempest can deal 182,000 damage a cycle (compared to 163,100 currently), and reloads 2 seconds faster. This means it deals around 12% more damage per clip, and has an overal DPS of 9,000 compared to 6,970, a 30% DPS difference.

The current Tempest also has a weird reload bug (a 1.2 seconds delay). This is something I now mention should be addressed in my changes (this allows the Tempest to essentially reload 3.2 seconds faster)
