so would a weapon like this https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/IMI_Desert_Eagle do literally no damage to something like this https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Bull_Shark ??

Yeah, especially if shot underwater.

Uhhh, I don't think that's realistic... at all. The only reason a bullet won't work if you shoot it underwater is because there's a very physical barrier absorbing most of the impact (Water). I 100% Guarantee you that if you blast a Bull Shark out of water with a Deagle, their head would be blown off.

Let me revise my first comment.
Shark
Striking Strength: Wall Class (It has a bite force of 6,000 N, stronger than any other extant shark)
Durability: Wall level (Able to survive bites from other sharks and other deadly fish)
This seems to suggest it's durability is at least = to the force similar sharks output. However, "surviving bites" means that they in fact get bitten, which does not in the slightest bit represent what durability actually is. Durability is a shark biting you and breaking all its teeth off.
Now force = opposite force, but the spread of energy over the surface area that the shark's bite force affects < the incredibly small surface area of the head of a bullet. Pretty much apply the inverse square law here.
Desert Eagle
"Fired from a standard six-inch Desert Eagle barrel, Speer's 300-grain load produces a muzzle velocity of over 1,500 ft/s, giving a muzzle energy of over 1,500 ftÔïàlb (2,000 J)."
1500 ft/lb =~ 6672 newtons which would smoke the shark, given it's not underwater.
Besides, our AP system is measured in energy, not force, so idk how well that shark sizes up in terms of energy.

Sorry for butting in & asking, but what exactly is piercing damage in this context? A bullet carries energy. AFAIK, this is often from the spin of the bullet, the speed it's moving, the heat, & the force at which it was expelled.
Presumably, if you threw a hacky-sack hard enough, it might be able to pierce someone, right? It'd have to be extraordinarily hard, & maybe isn't something that a human could reasonably do in real life, but if it pierced & damaged, is that piercing damage?

I wouldn't know what a bull shark could withstand in terms of damage.
