No it was not found through code, but through in-game testing. Based on the facts that health points are readily visible, ammo is easily counted (number of clips etc.), and everything is very easily reproducible. That's also why the MP effect is listed in terms of damage done - because that's what was tested.

I also posted some similar (great!) stuff for Explosives and some cool equations on  Hacking, but the best thing of all was complete stats (as for MP) for all weapons here - which some genius saw fit to delete because it was from in-game testing. But if you want to see the source data, check out this forum thread. Notice all the tabs in the spreadsheet.

If anybody knows a way to reconstruct the Weapons_Stats page (probably elsewhere!), please say. Or just do it.

Cheers!
