There was a couple matches where I just had fun with them and had 4 Complex sidearm damage modifiers. With those and all the skills that passively increase its damage, I calculated it to do 134 damage per shot. Cool

Don't damage mods have a stacking penalty? You might be wasting slots.

Anyway, I actually looted 5 of these a few days ago. They're may first 'Unique' item, just sucks that I dont have any Scrambler Skill. Even if I did, I'd probably be afraid to use them.

No, damage mods don't have stacking penalties. They used to, which is why they say there is a stacking penalty in their description. But they haven't had penalties for a while now and CCP said they aren't going to re-add penalties to them because they are working as intended.

Ummmm... what?

CCP have stated that yes they DO have stacking penalties, but they aren't being displayed correctly on the fitting screen. It's been posted several times during Chromosome with dev confirmation, including at least one post on the forums confirming it as well as several people providing IRC transcripts. What's your source?

What's your source? My source was from a while ago on a forum post that a Dev responded to. But I may have miss interpreted it. But I will say the Wolfman PCP was doing crazy damage where it had to be doing around 134 damage to kill people in 2-3 shots or 4-5 depending if it was a heavy or not.
