The PM6 Slicer cannon has this. In one game, when I knew far less than I do now, I used it thinking it had much higher DPS than other particle weapons. 5.5(x2) * 10 = 110, higher than dual particle beam weapon's 5.5 * 12 = 66. Plus, the Slicer cannon has higher level and powerUse, and inferior range. I was disappointed when I learned the actual damage was half of the listed damage, less than lancer cannon or dual particle beam weapon. (This was in a 1.01 game, although this bug remains even in 1.05.)

Of course, the odds of getting an intact PM6 Slicer cannon from the Slicer is low; although the player can order one from a trading post. Someone who believes the listed damage might try ordering it, thinking he will get a slightly weaker non-military variant of the dual Tev9.

Ooh, so it does affect a vanilla weapon, even if it is only one.
