I believe by "armor penetration", Drago means "blunt trauma bypassing armor stats", which is more accurate.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 00:50, August 22, 2017 (UTC) Depends on the circumstance, if a hammer is heavy enough it would cause blunt trauma, cave in armor, etc, but there is also evidence, and even some modern day testing videos, of people hitting each other with hammers wearing plate armor and being fine.
