Belated follow-up: I went through and did a fairly thorough check of all the "beam cannon" stats in Ultra-Tech that can be replicated with the Pyramid article. Two other anomalies stood out: it looks like the E values for force beams and pulsars got switched. E should be 4 for pulsars and 6 for particle beams. The semi-portable versions of those beam types should also maybe do more damage, though that can be hand-waved as the technology scaling down poorly. (Note I haven't checked rifle sized and smaller versions of these beams.)
