Adding Beam/plasma augs to single and burst fire MW weapons?

I like to experiment with different augments on different weapons and armors so this is what I do.

Make my first save for a restore point.
Buy any materials, mods or augments I need for crafting.
Land on a planet with a research and development terminal close to a forward station.
Make another manual save in case I don't like the augment I spend research points on.
Spend research points on any additional augments.
Craft the weapon and armor I am wanting to try out.
Head to the forward station and swap in the new gear.
Go find something to kill.

It can be a little bit time consuming but if I don't like what I crafted, I go back to one of my save points and I'm not out any research points, credits, or materials, only a bit of my time.

This helps me get a real feel for how much I like the weapon, armor, mod, augment, etc. and how much it meshes with my play style.

In my experience, the only augment of that type worth adding to your weapon is the sticky grenades. Doesn't change the firing pattern, or more importantly, the time/angle it takes the projectile to reach the target. Plus: Sticky. Grenades. Got an annoying dude who won't come out of cover and you are middle of your cooldowns for powers? Shoot sticky grenades next to him. Guy running to cover too fast for you to track him as he moves? Sticky grenade his likely destination. Multiple guys all bunched up? Shoot the one in the middle and damage all of em for the price of a single bullet. (Haven't tried this with a Sticky Grenade Isharay yet. Hmm.)

I have a Sticky Grenade Valkyrie as my back-up weapon (I am primarily a sniper) and sometimes when using it I forget I could use my primary weapon cause it is so much fun.

If I had to guess, it is because the projectiles take a noticeable amount of time to travel to target, whereas the bullets/beams are essentially instant time on target.

Another question I just discovered, how do you remove Augs from weaponns you can't deconstruct?

I put a beam emitter in one of the pathfinder weapons and I cant get it back, I tried selling and destroying it but nothing. Neither can I research another.

Kinda stuck here.

Ok cool, its not the end of the world, oh and BTW, you put a beam aug in the pathfinder AR you get a burst beam. Hence why i wanted to remove it and put it in another gun. Ill just have to stick with the PAW for now.

Oh and how do you know what a rare container is? 

The beam aug does NOT change the firing type. I added one to a Valkyrie and it was still 2-shot burst.

It sucked, BTW.

What are pathfinder weapons? I could deconstruct anything that wasn't equipped.

Yeah, the deluxe edition weapons aren't all that great, to be honest.  I enjoyed the Pioneer for a while...until I figured out the Hornet did the same job but better, and could be deconstructed, giving me my materials and augments back.

I wish Bioware would improve the deluxe weapons just a tad, not so much they're superior to everything else, but they're just lackluster enough that you will definitely find yourself moving on to better weapons within the first 4-5 hours.

The electric conduit on the m8 is soo good,
Its like a long ranged regar carbine,

You end up with a laser that is 90% reduced damage...no joke
