In that case, secondarily:

It's been my assumption that all occupants of the Omniverse are subject to the same rules as Primes in regard to how their stats work (though as you clarified, NPC's necessarily follow the same rules). For example, any item that a secondary uses, and any damage that can be caused, would not exceed their own innate Attack stat. For example, a Stormtrooper with a blaster and an Attack of 2 can hurt you by shooting you, sure, but is unlikely to be terribly lethal to anyone with a few points in Defense.

If not, and blasters and other firearms are as lethal as they are depicted in their source material, a potential way around this discrepancy would be the IC existence of a production company run by an NPC Prime - one that has the somewhat unique ability to Infuse items with his/her stats, or perhaps Omnilium through some other process. This Death Merchant would essentially be selling enchanted ammo or blaster packs en masse to various powers, allowing their common soldiers to wield weapons with higher innate Attack potential than their own wielders.

OR, perhaps items forged not from Primes, but made from resources found in the verses, are capable of bypassing that usual restriction. With the theory being that Omni is responsible for the expansion and spontaneous creation of land within the verses, any minerals therein would have an upper limit of potential energy only bound by Omni's own stats. So bullet created by a Prime through spontaneous summoning would only be able to cause as much damage as the Prime's Attack stat indicates, but a bullet made out of steel and gunpowder mined and forged from Omni's creations would behave like Omni would expect a bullet to.

I like the first two explanations because it doesn't require any rethinking of how weapons work within the rules as I understand them.
Uh oh. Those boys got me all tingly...

I must calm it.
