Update required / facts not right?
Tested in Normal Mode, E-GUN does 1.8x damage to flesh, 0.85x damage to shield and armor. It is only minor damage resistance and actually do more damage to armor than normal non-elemental weapon, guess that's why it seems penetrate everything.

- For starters, I think you rounded your numbers a bit too high in your tests--mine came up with something closer to 1.71% damage vs flesh in Normal mode. As usual, TVHM and UVHM have completely different coefficients--in higher difficulties, the E-GUN does 200% damage to flesh targets, significantly higher than incendiary weapons (175%).
- There was, formerly, some nonsense at the top of this page from someone playong normal difficulty in 2014 who claimed that the E-GUN is actually effective vs shields and flesh, and also claimed to have beaten the Empyrean Sentinel by "just firing the E-GUN continuously," but I removed it because the first part is false and the second part is extremely dubious. The E-GUN DOES deal 85% damage vs shields and armor on normal difficulty, so Allenpluto was correct about that.
