			: The damage modifiers are correct. I think the assertion that they're resistant to AP has more to do with the fact that AP weapons have low damage. The Reaper's protection on its front sides and rear is 28. The most common AP weapon players will be armed with is the rifle, which does 30 average. Compared to the rest of the every-day aliens you'll be fighting during the time you will be equipped with rifles, it does give the perception they are resistant to AP weapons.

			:I don't disagree with any of your analysis but again, it really depends on XCom's tech level and the perception of each player. Perhaps it might be more useful to classify their threat level when equipped with Conventional/Laser/Plasma weapons. [[User:Hobbes\|Hobbes]] ([[User talk:Hobbes\|talk]]) 14:06, 11 January 2016 (EST)
