One more thing that I was just thinking. I call it "The Lazy Balance Team Theory"
The balancing team must make all guns and chips and melee weapons and every weapon you can imagine in game (melee decay only the weapon; guns decay the weapon + atachments + enhancers + the ammo; MF decay the chip + the implant + the ammo). And instead of doing this enourmous work, they can just make the loot to balance things. May be not 100%, but still help the uneco players to play almost for the same cost as the eco players.
Umm... Have you actually looked at the specs of melee vs (unamped) guns vs MF chips? These are all balanced. Not just balanced, but balanced in a way that makes higher level weapons / MF attack chips have better eco. This is different to how the old style weapons were balanced where it was mainly the blueprint level that determined the eco of a weapon. The balancing team is not lazy in that sense. If you want another look at an interesting weapons balance, take a look at the Chikara Vamachara Mk II(L).
Attachments ... the only releveant attachment is an amplifier and Mikeemoo is demonstrating that like with armor and plates, weapon + amplifier may not entirely behave like one might assume.
