The new penetration weapon rules appear to be based on the new item level rules, but have no realistic regard for the listed hardness rules, for example the discription clearly says it's designed to penetrate bunkers but even the most powerful laser only has 20 penetration giving it the inability to penetrate even the basic metal of steel. Never mind advanced metals, a example is the artillery laser penetration you need a significant item level to affect even wood or plastic, rendering a simple wall capable of being able to stop all but high end weapons, is the formula wrong or in need of review as the current version is laughably ineffective as a addon
