The three Impact Force columns are the minimum Dmg % a crafted weapon needs to remove one shot-to-kill: base = vs standard armor, max crafted = the Impact Force to reach the same breakpoint against a fully-crafted target, and premium = the same against the best sets in that tier, so you can read across the row. Most armor gains +10% damage mitigation at max craft quality, but roughly half the sets in each tier reach +15% instead - at Heavy that is ADP, ADP-mk4, Balor HCH, Defiance, Manticore and Overlord, and every Heavy Utility piece is premium. Where the weapon already one-shots standard armor, the crafted values are the Impact Force 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.
