IDHMBWM, but don't contact explosions get maximum damage? It strikes me that an internal explosion would indeed count as contact... meaning maximum damage with a x3 multiplier! An exploding round in the vitals or skull should kill you pretty much outright, correct?

If using the +0.5 variant, I think the cutoff remains around the same - if one multiplier (damage type or hit location) is less than 1, use multiplication; if both are greater than or equal to 1, use addition.
