I would normally run the numbers for u but don't have the time right now. Logically to balance a game the longer the range the lower the damage, also special advantages like homing reload while firing and area dmg need to have lower dmg. The game follows those guidelines. So a gekko with 1500m range will have far less dps than a 350m magnum. A better comparison is to the pinata and punisher, both short range weapons. Magnum is more dps (but less range) than punisher, and lower dps (but more range, easier to aim and no reloading time) than the pinata. It just makes sense that a short range unguided weapon with long reloading times would be the most damaging weapon (while firing) but its also the hardest to use. Otherwise no one would use it.
