Hi Hawky, I have a question regarding the damage of the PS20 and Plasma Rifle.

I see that "PlasmaBolt" in DeusEx.u has the property of "mpDamage=8.00". So the damage of 8 (as currently listed in the wiki) seems right. However, why is PS20's damage seeming greater than 8?

For example, by targeting the head of the first UNATCO trooper on Liberty Island with the pistol skill at untrained, I got the trooper down to 12% head health one time, and then 20% another. I've also been able to kill the trooper in one hit. However, none of this would be possible if base damage were merely 8.

Is the damage of the PlasmaBolt being duplicated by its blast radius?
