gordulan:
actually, It seems to ignore the +30%dr from finesse then shooting at the torso/unaimed, so it'squite bugged I'd say

Oh right, I forgot about that.

.44 JHP gives a 3x damage bonus along with the 50% DR. So you're looking at 36-54 base damage (average of 45), modified by 50% DR from the ammo, +30% from Finesse. On Radscorpions, that would do an average of 9 damage on a non-crit. On enemies with 20% natural DR or more, yeah, it would be 0 damage.

But if you score a crit, their natural DR and the DR from Finesse is canceled, so you should still do more than 0 damage, if you're critting. Not sure if the ammo's DR bonus is also canceled (probably not).

Final answer: Use 14mm AP or .223 FMJ to level a Finesse character at first.  ;)

gordulan:
actually, it cancels for all other JHP ammo with bypass crits, so you do a fuckload of damage with 5mm and 10mm JHP when bypassing armour.

Whoa, the ammo's inherent 50% DR bonus is canceled, too?

SWEET.

Crazy:
Hum, bypass each time with better critical is in very old crit table, actual, there is a lot less bypass: they still happen, but not always/often.
Also, it's even less bypass in head, and the most frequent shot is in the head.
Actually, with finesse, you will do really low damage, particulary on armoured target or with JHP ammo, but even with AP.
