Question: Efficiency and amps

I have a question regarding total efficiency of weapons+amp. How is this number added up?
Example:
Bukin’s rifle+ZX Sinkadus (57,2+84,7) amp gives 63,5 efficiency
Z12 Barbarella+ZX amp (57,2+84,7) gives 61,8 efficiency

What will happen if the amp have lower efficiency than the weapon?
Example: imk2+i204 (90,4+85,3)
Will the amp lower the total efficiency in this case?

Perhaps this has already been discussed in another thread or is in some dev notes? If so could you help me with a link?

Is there any way to calculate this?

Does this thread answer your question?

Here's how to calculate total efficiency:

(efficiency of weapon x cost per shot + efficiency of amp x cost per shot) / (cost per shot of weapon and amp)

Example:

Efficiency 60, cost to shoot weapon (decay+ammo) = 20 pec.
Efficiency 76 amp, cost to shoot 5 pec

Total efficiency: (60x20 + 76x5)/(20+5) = 63.2
