People really like to throw around the term "Piercing Damage" as if that alone means anything. Bullets are built to deliver it's insane (for us) amounts of energy in a very small surface area, thus, allowing for the energy (which wouldn't be able to do much on a larger area) to pierce through strong materials by having a higher energy-to-resistance ratio.Bullets isn't exactly the same thing as being hurt by your own feat. Especially given it's a bullet, piercing damage and what not exists and one of the most common thing in media let alone shounen, is bullets being able to harm those above their paygrade.
Point is, that shouldn't hurt Yor regardless of bullet's piercing damage (especially bullets from the 40's), so saying that isn't going to cut it.
Of course, you are right about bullets hurting people of higher level than it's supposed to being a common aspect of fiction in general, but so is "Higher tier character getting lower tier durability feats". We do have the instance of Loid surviving a kick supposedly 100x stronger than him, and we can tell he should not have survived that kick (given the table scaling is, or close to, his peak) without even needing to use math, kicking a car is stupendously beyond punch a wooden table by visuals alone. Either way, all I am saying, is that Loid downscaling from Yor shouldn't be discarded, and should be at least a possibility. We might get newer instances of Yor vs Loid in the future that will clear up the scaling between the two
"mundane" in the context of this scaling. A character who scales to 9-A getting hurt by backlash of his 9-B punch is still, nonetheless, mundane.That's also a huge false equivalence, Loid wasn't hurt by a mundane thing or a thing lower than him
Again, this is under the assumption that the scaling is correct.
It doesn't have to be "related" directly to my example. Yor's example shows that the work has incoherent comprehension of it's character's durabilities, thus, Loid punching a table and getting slightly damaged shouldn't invalidate him from scaling higher.(such as the bomb in that one chapter), it was literally his own quantifiable feat that's like 100x below a casual attack from Yor which damaged him a bit, you'd have to literally disregard his own feat for this scaling to make sense, not at all related to the example of what you're using.
As of now, again, I believe a "possibly" could be added, we have two feats of "durability" on Loid, so we cannot say which one is an outlier yet, if any.
