Shots to break each shield

Shield	Shots	Time	One magazine?
Light Shield (75 HP)	10	9.26s	Yes
Medium Shield (125 HP)	16	15.44s	Yes
Heavy Shield (200 HP)	25	24.70s	Yes

At 8 damage per shot and 58.3 RPM, the Torrente strips a Light Shield in 10 shots (9.26s) and a Heavy Shield in 25. A full 100-round magazine covers even a Heavy Shield, so you can commit to the fight without a reload window.

Factoring the 5s reload in, real damage output settles at 7 sustained DPS — 98% below the 466 burst figure. That is a steep fall-off, so this weapon rewards landing its damage in one magazine and swapping rather than reloading under fire.
