- Lv3 bonus added in TU4 (Ver 1.040); game8 measured it as about +2% damage, which fits +5 attack on a typical gunner weapon.
- Ammo labels for the per-type rows are read from the game's enum order (Normal, Pierce, Spread); treat the row names as likely, not certain.
Source: PlayerSkillParam _Ballistic_Wp11/12/13Data (start/end multipliers per level) and _Ballistic_WpXXAttackAdd = 5; game8 range tests agree.
