The above result means that we have to completely dismantle the Faction Estimates Grid in the calculator because they come after BP MPs. We will have to go back to providing just the rounded base outcomes and then doing the rest of the calc in the hit box cells below.

The last test is to figure out whether TypeMPs are with armor or not. My guess after the above result is no. They are most likely either before or after armor and most likely rounded, not rounded down.

The best way to test this is with a non armor ignoring damage type against Medium Grineer (Lancers or Trooper best candidate) that has a TypeMP for their whole body (Fire or Electrical) and shooting them both in the chest and face to confirm Type vs Armor Placement and further confirm placement of the BodyMP.

Ignis would be nice but the base damage is too high. Our best bet is to use a mid level damage weapon with a fire mod on it. Despair seems like a nice candidate because we can also test the TypeMP with its base Armor Piercing damage without the armor in the way, this might let us discriminate whether TypeMPs are rounded rather than roundeddown like BP MPs. In fact, I will start with that first.
