What causes the weapon damage to keep changing even though im not changing anything.

Never had a problem with my AR/LMG build but I'm giving a dual LMG build a blast and the constant weapon damage changes between the various weapons I pick is not helping me get the best out of it.

Currently my two weapons on screen are Military M60 E4 Unhinged, Allegro and Protected reload, weapon damage is showing 39.7k damage
SEcond weapon is the black market M60 E6 Unhinged, extra and overlap weapon damage showing 34.9k.

But then it changes to 34.4k and 31.4k for both weapons, thing is though, if you swap the weapons around the damage numbers don't follow the gun they seem to stay in the weapon slot number and changing to a totally different LMG that says 30.9k will then change to 39.7k which is the damage number of the weapon you are swapping.
Swap the E4 to slot 1 and it takes the E6's damage and visa versa.

Have I got some talents that are screwing things around?

Hard hitting on 3 pieces, Unstoppable force, explosive damage, devastating, patience are my only talents.

Just changed some guns around but when I go back to my original two is this post they are now saying

35.8k and 34.9k, why has the E4 lost 4k damage just changing weapons around the slots? pics below

Just to add, the said guns seem to be losing 50 RPM for some reason which may be causing the damage changes but now the question is why is it losing 50 RPM by just swapping guns or if its primary or second weapon.

As some in this thread have stated, I've seen this happen as a result of specific active vs. passive talents, interactions with other gear or players, Normalization, etc. I appreciate the additional detail in this instance though. I'll be sure to make a note of this situation. Thank you!
