Some minor corrections or additions to my observations above. It appears that if the kunai are staggering some bosses it might be a bug in the boss script rather than a characteristic that is supposed to be on the weapon.

There is something unusual going on with the Despair on Grineer. I have a low level Despair with no barrel diffusion on it and I am periodically getting two numbers with each hit. This would seem to confirm a badly worded claim above. It is not that the Despair have armor penetration. BOTH KUNAI AND DESPAIR IGNORE ARMOR. What Despair does seem to do is deal extra damage to armored units (which is different than armor penetration or ignore).

This requires some more testing to put actual numbers up.

I also think I can confirmt the thing about puncture I stated above. This doesn't have puncture to it at all - it won't go through grineer shields or objects. BUT it can sometimes deal damage to multiple units whent he pin effect procs - just like all bolt weapons.
