Psiamp's don't really have normal firing anims or a base damage array, so the arcthrower skills either wouldn't work at all, or just look terrible.

If you actually meant Stormcaller, also no. they rely on animations and damage arrays Psi Amps don't have (Volt, IStorm), you'd wind up with a lot of T-Poseing and/or nothing happening.

Ops I did mean Stormcaller, and I thank you for the clarification.
