I did some testing with a Mann Mph unamped and a Mann Mph amped with an A102 to determine whether a Laser amp decreases or increases efficiency of a gun. This is far from a complete study
As discussed in: https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2839, collecting this data can be quite cumbersome. As a result, I've only done a test with 500 shots unamped and 1000 shots amped. To determine the maximum possible dam/pec of the 2 combinations, I have used Headwar's chart.
Professional Standing: Great Laser Pistoleer.
:: Mann Mph ::
No. of shots: 500
Minimum damage: 1.3
Maximum damage: 3.9
Average damage: 2.6282
Min. as % of Max.: 32.5%
Avg. as % of Max.: 65.705%
Max Possible Dam per Pec: 3.9378
Avg. Dam per Pec: 2.5873
:: Mann Mph with A102 ::
No. of shots: 1000
Minimum damage: 3.5
Maximum damage: 10.9
Average damage: 7.2855
Min. as % of Max.: 31.82%
Avg. as % of Max.: 66.232%
Max Possible Dam per Pec: 4.354
Avg. Dam per Pec: 2.8837
Some notes:
1. Average damage achieved through test compared to (min + max) / 2:
Unamped: 2.6282 vs. 2.6
Amped: 7.2855 vs. 7.2
2. I only registered 3.5 twice with the amped Mann, could this be that my minimum is about to go up from 3.5 to 3.6? My current minimum is possibly around 3.54.
3. The key result to look at is Average Damage as % of Maximum Damage of Gun. Unamped I got 65.705% and amped I got 66.232%. With a bigger sample I expect these values to be closer to one another, if not equal to one another.
I want to do more intensive testing, but as Prodiq says, there's not exactly an easy way to do this. A secretary may be necessary
Findings: Amping with a Laser amplifier such as A102 will not decrease Average Damage as % of Maximum Damage at moderate skill levels; i.e. one takes good advantage of the increased dam/pec of Omegaton A1xx and A2xx amps on any gun that has an inferior dam/pec to the amp.
