Cabal have funky armor. If you shoot a legionnaire in the head it does less than shooting a psion in the head, much less. Don't know why other guns against the same Cabal wouldn't do the same. Try testing it on Hive.

Will do, still the reduction should work on Thorn & Hawkmoonk, too which it doesn`t

Just tested Thorn, Fatebringer and Lash 2.0 on level 4 enemies, I'm level 32 so I'd be seeing capped damage, which negates any Attack numbers on the guns since I'm so overlevelled. This test shows the base damage of each based purely on impact. Thorn did 438, Fatebringer 446, Lash 493. From this we can conclude that the guns are functioning appropriately at their base level. Need to get my lash to 331 before I can try much else :/

Maybe this is actually a better method to see if the Impact base is working. Then all you have to do is a second run with high level enemies to check if the distortion happens during the phase where the Attackrate mutliplier is applied. What i`m a little unsure about is the question if Thorns Piercing damage is part of the Impact stat or not. My tests with two thorns (300/331) clearly show that the piercing effect is stronger on the gun with the higher Attackrate.

I can now also confirm AP rounds do indeed penetrate through at least one enemy to hit the other. Pierced a Vandal and hit the dreg behind it a few times just now with the lash. The AP rounds did not add any damage though, despite showing an Impact Stat increase.

Yeah, that`s what is driving me mad. Most of this Compare options that are built in the game ar complete useless. For beginners it must be a nightmare to understand the damage model in Destiny. That you can shoot through enemies with some of the percing perks (Thorn can do this also) is well known, but i was interested to see if any other wepon type than snipers with armor piercin could shot through obstacles, at least some of the shotguns/HCs are almost if not more powerful (high Impact) as a weak sniper, so that was part of the reason i was first excited to roll that on my lash.
