^ Impact as a damage type isn't resisted by any major enemy types. Only Flesh and Cloned Flesh resist it for -25%. That's humanoid Corpus all the time and Grineer when they have 0% armor. Both of these situations result in no damage reduction before resistance is applied. Therefore, -Impact is always a downgrade when you don't care about procs (because of armor stipping frame abilities).

For this gun in particular, -100% Impact will be -75% damage before elemental mods (again ignoring procs because abilities). Even after elemental mods, you would still do less damage than if you didn't have the -Impact because you're putting smaller damage values into the enemy. Any amount of Impact will do more damage than none at all.
