well it's pretty hard to compare eco when mobs die in such little shots because then you have overkill, the equivalent of a snable with opalo+A101 is like using a weapon that does 75-150 dmg on argos, 122 dmg would bring the argo down to 188 hp, 92 dmg would bring is down to 96, then 145 dmg would kill it. The extra 49 dmg is "wasted" and if the weapon did 70-140 dmg which costs less per shot, it would cost less to have killed the argo.

The A101 adds damage to the opalo and it costs less to shoot the opalo+A101 twice for something in the range of 12-24 dmg, than to shoot the opalo 3 times for the same range of 12-24 dmg. So for small mobs maybe bring the snable down as close to dead as you can, then use a powerfist or tt pistol to finish it off. Hope this helped clear some things up for you.
