I always thought the reason
MA introduced amps was because the amp increased your decay (IE their profit). To make this increase in decay attractive, a gun+amp was more eco than a gun alone.
This meant that rather than buy a bigger gun when you wanted to increase your damage, it was more economical to buy an amp.
MA liked this, as the amp gave more profit, and the player liked it as they got the higher damage at a lower cost.
The BLP amp mentioned seems to go against this theory. Why would I want to use one if it lowers my eco? If I want to do more damage, I should just buy a bigger gun. Seems
MA got their sums wrong with the Bull tac10.
