Weapon Specialization and '--' damage weapons, does it do anything?

[Shinigami02]

With the new Playtest's Biohacker class, it made me really look at the Wraith-Sting rifles from the Armory. The problem with trying to main one of these though, is that they do no inherent damage. On the other hand, constantly swapping weapons is a pain in the butt, and I'm not very particular towards the Kasatha, so I was just kind of wondering, would Weapon Specialization interact with these to give at least a modicum of damage when you don't have a substance loaded? My group's potential GMs are leaning no, but I thought it worth asking.

Nope. Sting rifles, nets, shield projectors and the like just don't do damage at all.

Do they have the analog tag?
If not. Does the Biohacker class have high use for swift actions?
If not.

Have you considered a maze core combo?
