Not true, the game does check your quality weapon, vs the quality of the armour to determine whether you hit or miss. So when using lower to-hit bonus styles you will see a higher miss rate with lower quality weapons.
It does however not matter in your ability to penetrate defenses.

Yup, and all top level weapons should have +35% bonus (though crafted non legendaries will need enchanting).

Also Artifacts and Champ weapons get an extra 'hidden' +5%.

3 slots, imbue points same as on a usual 4 slot crafted item (ie based on quality)

When overcharging, the '4th gem' is considered 94% quality, so on 99%+, three MP gems are needed for 100% guaranteed success on a 5 pt overcharge.

I've not heard of any tests. Of course, it'd raise the question, "Why have they coded procs differently for these weapons?" if there was such an effect.

so a MP will give 32 points to spend ? or does the 4th slot stat AF count towards this ?

No, a MP will give 32 imbue points, split between the 3 gems.

huge damage difference? no

the diff is: 99% has 16.335 dps and the 97% has 16.005 dps

actually is almost the same difference as using mp weapons pre and after rr5 (16.2 dps versus 16.5 dps)... not big deal tbh especialy with the random damage in melee hits

other differences are: imbue points and durability points (mp and 99% have more than 100 durability points while a 97% will drop durability at first percent repaired)

Though mythic have done their best to make it unclear. Im pretty sure that the 4th gem is not considered as 94% qual. Its actually excluded from the calculation completely, and chance of blow up is based on the 3 remaining. Did find an article about it (think it was grab bag), but personal experience (so far) has bourne this out, having overcharge of 5 with 3x99% gems 5 times so far without mishap.

Yes, strickly speaking it's not that the 'missing' 4th gem is considered as 94%, it's that each quality of gem adds a percentage to the chance of a successful overcharge. A 94% gem adds nothing to that percentage.
