"Moving on, Armor-Ignore vs Armor Piercing? Well, Armor-Ignore actually ignores armor 100%. You can just search for a enemy and you can realise in thier stats that there a slot for "Armor". So armor ignore totally ignores this and does full damage where as Armor-Piercing only does a certain amount of damage. It does ignores armor in a certain percentage,"

This is not true. First off, there is technically no "Armor-Ignore" damage type; this is a bad use of terms imo. However, there are damage types that ignore the armor of the majority of enemies (possibly all enemies), such as Physics Impact (like Paris or Kunai), Poison, Serrated Blade (like daggers), and yes, Armor Piercing. While they are on the 'ignore list', they can also be affected by enemy resistances and vulnerabilities. For instance, Armor Piercing does 0.5x damage to light Infested and 0.5x to medium Grineer.
