I think it's because you're comparing primary weapons and secondary weapons-- and assuming that they are on the same scale.

i think it isn't about primary or secondary weapon..  but about graphic bars..

for example..

in Brawler,  the weapon "Flank Cannon" have 6 bar-levels-graphic for 156 damange... but "TOW Rocket" have 2 bar-levels-graphic for 185 damange

so.. i guess the right thing is if the weapon have a high damange it have to show/have more bar-levels-graphic..  and the same for low damange weapons the should have less bar-levels-graphic..

Well, maybe it shows dps, as in how much damage can a gun deal in a short amount of time?

Even so, there is also a stat for fire rate so you could make out your overall DPS from combining the damage and the fire rate bars.

I agree with the OP, I'd like to make my own weighing on damage/ROF and having the damage bars actually show the stat they're illustrating (actual damage, not DPS), makes that judgement a lot easier.

Or is this just my EVE Online "I want to know ALL the stats" voice talking? :rolleyes:

I'm telling you guys, I think it is because you can't directly compare primary and secondary weapons. The numerical value of the primary weapons, when compared with OTHER primary weapons will match up with the visual graphic. There is a lower graphical reading of damage output on the secondary weapons because secondary weapons are being compared only against other secondary weapons and are not swappable among mechs. Flak Cannon is the most damaging primary weapon if I remember correctly, hence the full damage bar. Sabot Rifle/TOW Launcher may not be the highest damaging secondary weapons currently/planned, hence the lower damage bars in comparison to what secondary weapons we have yet to see.
