Imperial Hammer Plasma Slug Fuel Cost?

Does each round of the Imperial Hammer's 3 shot salvo use the same amount of fuel as a single round from a regular class 2 Railgun when using the Plasma Slug effect? Enquiring minds would like to know before purchasing the upgrade...
 
You could roll a g1 hammer to experiment with then upgrade to a higher grade if the fuel use is acceptable.

Most people who use rails dont use plasma slug, so I'm not sure about the answer.
 
I've already rolled the mods, I'm messing around with a knife-fighter style build for giggles and have them specced for short-range blaster. I really ought to be putting super pen on them, but at 500m charging a 3-salvo round at a module is like trying to into a shot glass while drunk. I suppose they should *still* be super-pen though.
 
Hammer + plasma slug uses 3x the fuel per trigger pull as a regular rail. Same fuel per "shot", but since it's a burst of 3... say goodbye to your fuel.

... or at least this is how it was last I tested it many months ago... put the slug hammer in storage and left it there.

FD should scale the fuel use relative to the damage (i.e. c1 rail uses less than c2, hammer only uses slightly more per trigger pull than c2 rail). I doubt that is on their "fix" list though.
 
...and 4 years later, it still remains in this nonsensical state, just as the Advanced Plasma Slug Accelerator. Why fix what you have when you could bolt on more which will never ever be getting fixed?
