DA and Shoota melee seems sky-high

I was browsing through the codex and noticed that the current melee DPS values for DAs and Shootas are 11 and 18 dps per model respectively. I was under the impression that it was ~4 for DAs and ~6 for shootas, has this changed recently? Because if it has, it is a massive change for first engagements.

18dps for shootas? No... Surely not...
That must be a codex bug...?

Maybe they were accidentally given kommando fist as a weapon? I've heard that thing reads most of the stats right out of the game files.
EDIT - nvm they are different weapons.

The codex is messed up. One example is the ork shoota ranged dps being higher than tacs, along with other things I can't be arsed to look up.
EDIT: Another I've just found is MoK CSM having their ranged weapons also classified as power melee with the exact same dps and attack pattern as their axes.

It would be fun to play Elite mod as the codex currently describes it, just for some lulz.

Fixed a bunch of these errors.

Yes, it was reading the kommando weapon entry. The others were similiar, DA linking to wse fist, ork_shoota linking mekboy shoota etc. It may seem odd, but makes perfect sense given that I scripted the codex update (going from sql db to rbfs) and cut some corners to avoid manual work.
