I think weapons always do their given damage, with fixed modifiers for range (for beams) and a fixed percentage chance of being deflected by shields (for torps) - there's no variation. Of course, capacitors and deflectors directly modify beam damage (but don't introduce any random factor or 'damage distribution'), and computers and jammers directly modify accuracy of torps. The torpedo accuracy thing gives a reasonably simple probability distribution for the actual damage, based on the chance of deflections.
