Pistol Amp not giving bonus damage

(Also, what in the world is up with this editor automatically embedding my links? Every time it does that it's deleting ALL text after the link. That's infuriating, how can I stop it from doing that?)

While running tests to see if Pistol Amp affects Peacemaker's damage, I noticed something strange. To make sure the mod was even having an effect in general, I was simultaneously testing my Vaykor Marelok's damage against Rathuum enemies, and saw that I was getting the exact same damage numbers against one particular executioner (always in the same Arena mission). 

I decided to do some control tests on the Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun aura mods, using unmodded weapons and low-level Frontier Grineer enemies. 

TARGET
  
 Lv 2 Frontier Lancer  

WEAPONS
    
* Stradavar, unmodded (with and without Rifle Amp)  
* Seer, unmodded (with and without Pistol Amp)  
* Kohm, unmodded (with and without Shotgun Amp)  

RESULTS

 ### 74 damage

* Seer without Pistol Amp gif http://gfycat.com/DelectablePeskyLacewing and damage screenshot http://i.imgur.com/ha6YQ2w.png

## 74 damage (74 * 1.27 = 93.94, Pistol Amp is not giving us this expected value)

CONCLUSION

Unlike its Rifle and Shotgun counterparts, Pistol Amp is not giving any bonus damage.

Quite a few of the new additions are broken currently.

I noticed the same thing just now. Pistol Amp just doesn't work at all right now. Hope it gets fixed soon.
