Bear in mind that Doug's unofficial formula is reverse-engineered and does diverge in certain assumptions from the one developed by David Pulver (math) and me (fine-tuning and reality checking against hundreds of data points) ages ago, I think in 2002 or 2003 or so. This was used for the weapon stats in all recent High-Tech books. I find it difficult to see how you can see a discrepancy when you're not using the official formula. Yeah, I know, the formula itself is unpublished, but the results aren't. They are in all my books, which are internally consistant.
