unfortunatly, this is how the puncture mechanic seems to work. some people claim the bullet keeps on going UNTIL it hits something as thick as whats listed, others (like me) have tested a few weapons and found that it does not work this way. take the picture above as an example. with the snipetron vandel, a maxed metal auger mod could not break the second container when fired into the first. when firing into containers very close with almost no space in between, the metal auger broke through and broke the second container. my test was very closed with a specific weapon and mod, but under these conditions metal auger worked as the picture illustrates. people with gorgons firing into a massive crowd might be tricked to think their piercing mod is working and in reality some bullets are simply not hitting the enemies in front and just shooting between them. other people still have claimed to have used weapons that are not hit scan (like the flux rifle) that killed enemies behind doors. i could not produce the same effect as my flux rifle would not even break the containers i mentioned above.

hope this helps, and remember, it may just be a bug, but for now it works both ways sometimes.
