Well...mostly no.

Basically, it doesn't work with punch-thru as a whole. However, if you have a fairly small amount of punch-thru (because each enemy you penetrate uses up very little of the punch-thru of a given shot) then it CAN affect the last enemy in a line. As a general rule, a completely unranked Shred gives you enough punch-thru to hit no more than 3 enemies in a row. If you did this, your ballistic battery would actually affect the third enemy in a line.

If you have too much punch-thru though, the arrow will keep flying through a whole line of enemies and, since it still has some punch-thru left, your Ballistic Battery will affect nothing.

That said, you're still better off using a duration build for Shooting Gallery (and Shatter Shield, especially when playing solo.)
