If Hardened armor doesn't exist, perhaps. Are you suggesting something with, say, DR 20 and one level of Hardened should instead simply be DR 40? Note also that those two behave differently on hits to the Skull/Eye and Vitals, although that's arguably a bug of sorts in the GURPS rules.
EDIT: I'll also note that, if you're tracking it at least, the 2d pi- should cause less physical damage to any cover being shot through (same depth of hole - all the way through - but less width to it). Realistically, there really is a difference between a fast, small standard bullet and a slower, larger armor-piercing one.
