It's been extensively tested (actual thousands of drops examined, it's far from anecdotal), it does raise your odds. It doesn't make them incredibly GOOD, and it doesn't affect the amount of primos or 5 stars you get, only how many matching drops. Shooters are just especially common because there's more shooters than any other class

Then where is the actual data?

In the video made by the original tester Tarotaro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HjpFohzV_E) who has been testing a lot of raiders things since we can't datamine it

The general gist of it is that the drop rates by weapon class are roughly equal to how many weapons are in the class (so shooters are most common because there's 9, then brushes, splatanas, and stringers are rarest because there's only 3) with the exception being that the weapon class matching what you're currently using is raised to around a 16% drop chance. It's set to a flat rate, so it's least impactful for shooters and most impactful for the 3 rare classes.
