Please elaborate. <3

Corsair does 2723.1%/s base damage with Battleship Cannon. Scaled to Fast (3), this goes to 3371.4%/s
Cannon Shooter does 2501.6%/s base damage with Cannon Buster. Scaled to Fast (5), this goes to 2663.0%/s

Corsairs are faster. Corsair has Pirate's Revenge.

Cannon Shooter has ignore defense. Cannon Shooter casts its summons faster (doesn't need to dismount, and Monkeys last 60s, Magnetic Anchor just does a lot of damage). Cannon Shooter inherently has more weapon attack. Cannon Shooter has Stance. Cannon Shooter has Double Dice. Cannon Shooter has Hyper Monkey Spell. Cannon Shooter has Cannon Counter.

On 60%+ PDR bosses, Cannon Shooters do more single target DPS.

I'm not sure if the Cannon Shooter's weapon multiplier is equal or higher than Corsair, but I'm fairly confident it is not lower. Either way, Cannon Shooters have inherently more weapon attack, 30 more from passives, and just more from their weapon that accounts for more than the difference of Gun + Bullets. Double Dice isn't a very significant factor, but it's obviously better than single dice. I actually have no idea how much time it takes to demount, cast Octopus, and remount, but it's not slow enough to reduce DPS unless you lag with over 5000 ms ping because Octopus does a pomegranateton of damage. Cannon Shooters just have it a lot easier being able to summon Anchor and Monkey whenever they're off cooldown. Hyper Monkey Spell is a party buff, but Cannon Shooters have it, not Corsairs. They're easily more flexible in being stronger that way by capping lower dex, and being more necessary for parties. Cannon Counter I have no idea if it's like Vengeance or more like Final Attack. Hopefully, the latter otherwise, it would not be a skill that should be invested in.
