Summarize your bug There's gotta be a problem with gearing requiring A/KT Stun Gun Prototypes. I think there are a large number of upgrades which ought to be using the Mk 4 part which are mistakenly using the Mk 5 part. I base this on a couple of observations, listed in the compose section.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I assume there's a database of gear required for gear level upgrades for characters. Do a search through the database for where Mk 4 prototypes are required. You will probably not find any, or maybe will only find one or two characters. Then do a search for Mk 5. You'll find it's practically everyone, sometimes for multiple slots spread over three or four gear levels.

*Most of the salvage required for Gear Level 8/9/10 is available from Gear Challenges, except the Mk 5 Stun Gun prototypes. Instead you get Mk 4 prototype salvage.
*There doesn't appear to be a use for the Mk4 salvage. As in, no character actually requires it for upgrades. Mk <4 is used, but Mk 4 isn't. Everyone who requires these pieces skips Mk4 and requires multiple tiers of Mk5. I've got 750 of them right now and will never use a single one.
*The sheer volume of Mk 5 required is staggering. As near as I can tell, more of them are required than any other piece for comparable gear levels. More characters require them for more gear levels.
Welcome to the game. You will always be hunting for mkVs, and when you need one of the pieces that uses mkIVs, you can feel a tiny bit relieved at putting a tiny scratch in your stockpile of thousands. It is like this for many pieces of challenge gear (which can also show up in raids).
Unfortunately, it isn't a bug though.
