* Most weapons in ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' have an armor piercing stat that specifies how good an armor they can bypass (in game terms, it deprives the target of its armor-based saving throw). Power weapons do not allow armour saves to happen against them, ever. |

** Given that most infantry weapons have an AP stat of at least 5, this renders any models with an armour save of 5 or 6 pretty much unprotected against enemy fire. Like the Imperial Guard, who are unfortunate enough to be squishy humans. And armed with a laser gun with no armour piercing value whatsoever. |

* The ''[[Hero Clix]]'' version of the feat card allows any character who wields it to still do 1 damage even if it would normally be reduced to 0. They still have to have at least a damage value of 1, though. |

* A clip of ammunition with this in ''[[Mekton]] Zeta'' costs four times as much as a normal round and halves the target's armour value. (For a similar price, you can skip attacking the target's mech ''at all'' and [[Shock and Awe|shoot electric bullets]], which bypass armour and directly affect the enemy pilot.) |
