Weapon experience gain

+
This is something that has bugged me for a while now when playing the game. Depending on which weapon I use, I seem to gain different amount of weapon xp for dispatching enemies. Smart weapons seem to give the least weapon xp, in general, while revolvers for some reason seem to give the most.

I don't have a scientific breakdown of the amounts of xp I gain, but I've tested it a bit on the same enemy (reloading) and even using the same weapon, it differs a bit (although not as much as using a different weapon). For example, if I use an Ajax assault rifle I might get 80 Assault xp for the kill, while if I use a sniper rifle I get 300 for the same opponent.

Does anyone know what is causing this, and if there's a logic to it?
 
Now that you say it, i seem right. Gain more assault xp with Ajax rifle than LMG (problem solver). Same between overture and Lexington.
Maybe it's linked to the damage (not DPS). More damage per hit, more xp.
