The math in every weapon I have adds up with the exception of the Helix Rack And Quantum Gun. My Quantum Gun 16 says it deals 4,284 damage per shot with 24 shots per magazine. That is 4,284 x 24 = 102,816. But it says 51,408 in magazine damage. That's half of what it's supposed to be. The Helix Rack is the same.
Does anyone know why?

I had actually logged a bug for this last year. Case number 5817532.
Plarium does have an explanation, and has said it will make things clearer but evidently that hasn't happened yet. Here are excerpts from the explanation:
"Quantum Gun fires 2 bullets at once and can shoot up to 12 times per Magazine.
These mechanics are more clear when using the Weapon. For instance, when you fire Quantum Gun once, the magazine will be reduced by 2. Also, 1 bullet is yellow and the second one, blue."
In short, their explanation is that the damage per round is actually the damage per pair of rounds (one blue and one yellow), so for full magazine damage you multiply it by 12 instead of 24.
The confusion of course is in their inconsistent definition of the word "round". It is a pair of rounds in damage but individual rounds in magazine size.

This explains the Quantum Gun. I still wonder about the Helix Rack since you shoot all of the projectiles at once.
Ah sorry i missed your point about helix rack. I tried using it a while ago and it doesn't fire all projectiles at once, but two at a time. Each pair forms a mutual helix path, and pairs are fired in quick succession.
So I'm guessing the mismatch in damage values is for the same reason as quantum gun. I don't have any official word on this though.
Hello! I will ask the developers and provide more information soon.
