Fallout Shelter: Weapon types, do they matter?
Two questions:
- Simply put, do different weapon types have different advantages / disadvantages to them, or is Damage the only thing that matters?
e.g. Does the Fat Man have high damage but low crit chance, Do Institute pistols have high crit but lower damage?
- Depending on the answer to (1), is there such a thing as the best weapon combination for 3-man questing? Or is it just a matter of bunching up guns with the highest Damage?
e.g. One Fat-Man type, One Flamer and One pistol / fast gun.

From this post, based on the organized list of weapons, it seems that, in general, Heavy weapons will do the most damage, followed by Energy weapons.
It doesn't seem like the weapons are classed by type due to statistics, so much as they are classed based on what they actually are. A Heavy weapon and a Pistol that do the same damage should be equally effective when used by a single Vault dweller.
As to your question about stats across gun types, critical chance is determined by a Vault Dweller's Perception, while raw damage is determined by their Strength. Shot speed is determined by Agility. Therefore, these stats rely on the stats of the Vault Dweller who is equipping it. The type of gun does not determine this. If anything, it would be specific to each gun.

Are legendary weapons better in Fallout Shelter?
Yes, weapons with higher damage are better than weapons with lower damage when you are fighting radroaches or raiders. However, the legendary and rare weapons can be sold for a MUCH higher price. So they are worth more, but that doesn't mean that they are better as far as damage goes. This may help you.Do stats affect weapons in Fallout Shelter?
Stats affect damage and speed - the weapon itself has no correlation with the stats. A dweller with high perception will always attack faster than a dweller with low perception, regardless of the weapon they are using.What weapons should I craft Fallout Shelter?

Answer 2
It depends on the stat of the person, how powerfully the weapon is used. There won't be a difference except in damage.
Answer 3
What I've noticed is, melee weapons, the attack position needs to be next to the target, if these two positions are already used by another melee or pistol wielder it cannot attack. Melee weapons are best for solo dwellers. I think pistols start attacking sooner because they needn't jockey into position for range good for a vault door guard in a crowd of enemies. My favourite weapons are 'Virgils Rifle' and 'Gatling Laser' perhaps with an 'MIRV' on missions (Splash damage is divided across all enemies) A 6-8 dmg weapon, mathematically, is equivalent to a 7.
