How can I increase my ranged damage-per-second?

When I fight a boss, I typically use a Megashark with Chlorophyte Bullets (because I aim poorly).

What accessories and modifiers can I use to get the most damage out of this weapon and ammo?

To get the most damage out of your Megashark, you'll want to have the following:

• Unreal prefix on your Megashark (+15% damage)
• Hallowed Helmet (+15% ranged damage, +8% ranged critical)
• Adamantite Chestplate (+6% damage) or Shroomite Breastplate (+13% ranged critical)
• Hallowed Greaves (+7% damage)
• Menacing Ranger Emblem (+4% damage and +15% ranged damage)
• Menacing Avenger Emblem (+16% damage)
• Menacing Destroyer Emblem (+14% damage and +8% critical)
• Two more accessories with Menacing modifier (+4% damage per accessory, +8% damage total)

In total, this is +100% damage and +16% critical chance (with Adamantite) or +94% damage and +29% critical chance (with Shroomite).

You might, however, want to sacrifice some of this damage setup in order to have more survivability.
