About this converter
Starfield lists a Fire Rate stat on every gun, and the spread here runs from 10 to 300. The Lawgiver sits at 10 as the slowest entry. Razorback and Deadeye tie at 12. Magpulse sits at 17 and Regulator at 18. Hard Target and Magshot tie at 25. Sidestar sits at 40. Eon and Beowulf tie at 50. Old Earth Pistol sits at 67. Elegance sits at 109. AA-99 sits at 112. Kraken and Maelstrom tie at 150. Drum Beat sits at 160. Grendel sits at 170. Magshear tops the set at 300. That makes one Magshear minute equal thirty Lawgiver minutes of trigger time. Rate alone never decides fights, so pair this table with the damage table before judging a weapon.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total RPM. Try Magshear at 300 against Lawgiver at 10 for the widest gap, then Eon at 50 against Beowulf at 50 for a tie. Only RPM is used here.
Rows pin base in-game Fire Rate values as listed in Bethesda data mirrors. Quality tiers such as Calibrated, Refined and Advanced raise damage, not rate, so rate rows stay stable while damage rows move. Weapon mods can shift practical output, so rows use unmodded bases. Semi-auto entries depend on trigger input, so listed rates read as mechanical ceilings. Damage, magazine size and ammo type sit outside this table, which covers base fire rate only. Beowulf damage reads 36 on some guides and 49 on tier snapshots, while both list rate 50.
