I did some testing on the weapon and I have conclusively determined the way that the orb adds damage to shots fired through it. For each mutalist bubble that is shot through, the base damage of the projectile is multiplied by 2/3. Then the resulting shot will have an elemental bonus equal to the sum of the element mods and the element bonuses of the orbs which it passed though, equal to +72.9%, +270%, +367% for firing through a singly-,doubly-,triply- stacked orb (respectively). For example, if you shoot a gun with 1000 base damage that has a rank 5 Convulsion (+90% electric) through two singly-stacked orbs, it will deal 1000x(2/3)x(2/3)x(1+0.900+0.729+0.729)=1492 damage. For just one orb it's 1000x(2/3)x(1+0.900+0.729)=1753, demonstrating that adding an orb can make you do less damage.
