^above poster is using outdated information, since this weapon's attack is NOT "armor piercing" but instead now classified as "serrated blade" (the same damage classification as most melee weapon charge attacks).

Armor ignore =/= armor piercing

This should be especially  obvious since armor piercing would actually do 50% damage to light infested, not 300%.

@original poster, since the damage base is serrated blade and NOT normal damage (which would encounter the different damage rates on body/legs that you mentioned) it shouldn't have differing rates when you aim at the body versus the legs. It's possible that since it's a 'continuous' fire weapon by 'cutting' at the body you're just collectively getting more hits and thus is looks like it's doing more damage when reallly you're doing the same damage over time regardless and some hits are just getting by when you're going for knee-shots.
