I get it now. You can't have just 50 damage. There's no such thing as just physical damage. Each weapon's damage is the combined sum of slash, puncture, and impact.

That said slash is horrible vs grineer. You're gonna want to mod your weapons a lot to deal with their alloy plated guys if you want to hurt them. Maybe 240 of my Galatine's 250 spin damage is slash. With 120% pressure point that's 528. So I lose 240*.5=120 damage against alloy'd health whenever I'm swinging into it with my spin. It's not that bad, you can definitely still kill them with the slash, and it might even be best to stick to slash melee weapons, it's just possible to be more efficient against the grineer faction by modding heavily for them.
