Against Level 2 body armor and a Level 2 helmet, on the upper torso.

// Damage matrix

The game gives twelve hit zones, but this weapon's table only tells 12 of them apart: the rows below are those bands, each one naming the zones it covers. Shots are counted on 100 health, so a cell reads as an outcome rather than a statistic.

A tier applies to both the plate and the helmet, so each column is a whole protection level. Limb bands ignore it: no armor in the game reaches them.
