Let me clarify something. " Innate armour piercing (Full damage to armoured areas)" - that's a quote. Question - does it mean that Boltor deals piercing damage? Surprisingly answer is no.

I asked myself this question some time ago and did some testing. Here are the results:

Boltor without mods, damage vs:

Cronus Prod guy (Body/Head) - 18/36

Cronus Crewman (Body/Head) - 18/36

Infected Charger (Body/Head) - 18/36

Now, the most intresting part. Damage to said areas (Normal**Piercing):

Cronus Prod guy (Body/Head) - 81%**100%/0%**2000%

Cronus Crewman (Body/Head) - 81%**100%/0%**2000%

Infected Charger (Body/Head) - 100%**50%/200%**100%

What does it mean. Boltor/Bolto deals neither type of damage. It does 100% in body, 200% in head. It can't be normal damage (no mitigation on Cronus body, DOES headshot without piercing mod), AND it can't be piercing damage (only 200% on Cronus headshot instead of 2000% and full 100% on body shots at Infected). Which means the third option - Boltor and Bolto deal Normal damage which ignores armor. That means Boltor will always deal 100% damage body shot and 200% damage headshot unless enemy possess full damage reduction (which seems to be the case for boss class enemies). If anyone want to confirm it and then add to the description on wikia - be my guest.
