What is the highest DPS weapon in DS1?

The Painting Guardian Sword (PGS) generally has the highest sustained DPS in Dark Souls 1 due to its extremely fast R1 attacks, bleed, and high potential when buffed with spells like Darkmoon Blade, especially at max stats (99 in all stats) or with specific infusions like Enchanted for Intelligence builds. However, the Demon's Greataxe offers immense single-hit burst damage, and weapons like the Great Scythe provide high DPS with bleed procs, while glitches (like moveswapping) can create even higher, albeit unintended, DPS figures.
