Damage Amplifier's new option "Affect Damage Cap" is broken

Summary

I recently noticed there’s a new option in the damage amplifier powerup device, that basically boosts damage correctly for shotguns as for other weapons.
When enabled, although the shotgun damage is boosted correctly, other weapons (not shotgun-like, so smgs, ars, etc) do not deal damage AT ALL.
