Is Point-Blank Shot useless for a Gunslinger against an armored opponent?

[DMBrendon]

When a Gunslinger is using a feat like Point-Blank Shot, is the attack resolved against the normal AC rather than the touch AC? This passage makes me think that is the case:

"When firing an early firearm, the attack resolves against the target's touch AC when the target is within the first range increment of the weapon, but this type of attack is not considered a touch attack for the purposes of feats and abilities such as Deadly Aim."
From http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateCombat/combat/firearms.html

So then Point-Blank Shot would only be useful against opponent without armor, as a prerequisite for other feats,or if an armored opponent was beyond the first range increment but within 30ft?

No. Guns target touch AC, always. Nothing makes them not target touch AC (besides the obvious specific things it says, before anyone gets smart).

They just don't count as touch attacks (EX Scorching Ray) for the purposes of Feats that don't work with touch attacks (like Deadly Aim), meaning stuff like Deadly Aim works with them.

The gun's function doesn't change, just its interaction with Feats.

That makes sense, I should have read Deadly Aim more carefully. Thanks for clearing that up.
