Can anybody confirm these numbers?
I just found the Frontier Phaser with my current party, which happenes to have a gadgeteer too. I tested the damage without and with ammo (well, as long as my powerpacks lasted). I even went to Trynton and found some swarming wasps to fight.
My result: in all battles, the average damage (of the hits) was 14 - 17.5. Whether i used ammo or not didn't matter (in fact, the lowest number was in a battle with ammo, and the highest one without ammo, but it isn't a statistically significant difference). And all damage was in the 5-27 range, no damage beyond 30.
Note: Resistances don't affect the damage of missile weapons. Only damage resistance (one fight without ammo was against anthracite golems, which took only half damage)
