------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION - URGENT TRANSMISSION FROM THE ADEPTUS ADMINISTRATUM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- In this article I will address the best weapons both in regards to effectiveness and efficiency Vs different unit types. Weapons that appear on both the effective and efficient list will be deemed the 'most optimal' weapon vs this unit type. The efficiency has been deduced by finding the cheapest way of taking said weapon and dividing the points of the chosen unit by the damage output. To get around the issue of one-shot weapons I divide the efficiency value by the number of rounds of shooting I can do with a weapon (up to a value of 5). The effectiveness was calculated from the amount of wounds caused from the selected weapon/s from the minimum size of unit chosen .
