The two Impact Force columns are the minimum Dmg % roll a crafted weapon needs to remove one shot-to-kill: base = vs standard armor, max crafted = the roll to reach the same breakpoint against a fully-crafted target (the four armor tiers gain +10% damage mitigation at max quality), so you can read across the row. Where the weapon already one-shots standard armor, the max-crafted value is the roll to keep that one-shot. Clothing and undersuits can't be crafted; flight suits can be, but have no craftable stats that matter here. STK = shots to kill. Computed at 0 m against the 100 HP health pool.
