1) No it does not, unfortunately. You might be seeing full damage because you are only engaging lower-level enemies or enemies that have light defence to begin with. The difference of armor doesn't become truly obvious until you start seeing level 70+ enemies (i.e. high level defence waves) and start paying attention to your damage. For most maps and mobs though the damage drop isn't that noticable.

2) It probably isn't bugged, it's just that you may not be seeing all your damage ticks. When you equip mods, an extra damage number pops up with every hit. I.E. if I equip a fire mod, and I shoot a target, two numbers pop out. One is the base hit (what the weapon would have shot if you had no mods). The second is the "bonus" damage granted from your mod. What is probably happening is your base hit of 80 is still there, but you are only seeing the 8 pop out from your armor piercing mod bonus damage.

3) I like it too as a decent all-around'er marksman weapon, but lately with higher-end content I've found myself going more towards the armor piercing / ignoring weapons instead. The Latron and Latron prime will always be old favorites of mine, though!
