In the battle report from White Dwarf 208, Jervis shoots at the Bunker with
the Lifta Droppa on the Gargant and they state that he needs 4+ to hit and
destroy it. Yet not too much earlier he shoots at it and gains two hits,
which I assume would leave it with only 1 Damage left (they state it starts
with three). But after hitting it twice, Jervis still needs a 4+ to kill it
which seems to say that the intention of the Lifta Droppa was to roll over
the starting damage capacity. Does that help?
