I just read the rules yesterday, and I think you're right in your
interpretation.

Without even trying the new rules, they seem over complicated. So I propose
ot kepe using our house rules for massive damage:

Massive damage is resolved as per teh main rulebook, but normal armor DOES
NOT help reduce damage.  Special armor (forcefields, monsters with heavy
innate armor etc) will help a bit, but this hasn't come up yet so we haven't
worked out how to apply it.

Our reasoning behind this is kevler and leather (the standard posse armor)
is useless against concussion waves.
