This anon has the right of it. Every plate and every limb has a specific hit point value depending on which grinder it is, some of them even have overlapping plates on areas. Rook arms are notoriously beefier than catalyst and dredges in terms of structural hp to a very noticeable degree. Weapon spread is also a massive factor like hammers for example detonate out in a cone shape from where they impact meaning that a small shoulder roll can actually turn a direct guaranteed lethal shot into a very minor glancing blow because most of the detonation misses. There's a lot of subtle nuances behind damage application and I'd be more than keen to run some controlled environment testing at some point if people were curious about certain things
