Well that's the same as cutting through armor with a blade...which is why splitting hairs by trying to determine the difference between slashing and peircing is often misconstrued.

Piercing through a surface is effectively doing the same thing as slashing through it. The only real difference you could try to conclude exists is concussive force of bludgeoning weapons vs. weapons that require armor penetration for effect.

Just accept that its a game and none of it makes any amount of sense in real life.
