[Bug?] Unreliable Weapon Damage Display

Post » Wed Jan 08, 2014 8:40 am

The DAM and DPS displays different values on all weapons in the Pip-Boy every time you switch to a different weapon or ammo.
For example;
While holding the Hunting Shotgun the damage is 9.2x7
While holding the .22 Silenced Pistol, and looking at the damage of the Hunting Shotgun, the damage changes to 7.7x7
While holding the Hunting Rifle the Hunting Shotgun Damage drops to 7.3x7

And so forth.
I've tried looking this up, but found only two threads. In which people weren't very helpful to the original posters and just told them the damage changes because they use different types of ammo.
Without reading what they were trying to say.
I would link the threads but the forum doesn't allow me, so just google "Re: Weapon DAM Goes Down?" and "What's with this DAM change?"

Does anybody know why is this? Is this a bug or a feature?

Are you using any perks, I believe the perk only gets added when the weapon is selected. I never really pay attention to that information. I only look at as a baseline
