i was hunting today and tried out my brand new T21. I started killing greater wonp rats which have 0 energy resist and no armor but i was getting no bonus. is this a bug or are all T21s like this?

actually that's common with any critter and weapon. If you have armor piercing and the enemy is vulnerable to that particular damage type, there's no bonus. Pretty sure this is a bug, but has been around for along time.

actually... the problem may be that they're too small.

after the horrible awful verybad october fiasco, I was scared to go anywhere: armor was vulnerability, and AP was resist... once things were 'fixed', I went out killing dinks and yard-trash to make sure that damage was being correctly calculated.

my combat logs and the floaty numbers didn't match... same problem I was having after they borked dmg calcs. I was seeing 50% or LESS dmg on the floaties than the log suggested I should get. I remained scared. when I finally decided to go suicide something of decent size, I was happily surprised to see that everything was working.

when you shoot something, and do 10k dmg to it (yeah, strafe2 will do that after AP3 calcs), you'll see the numbers over it's head that match up... but if your target doesn't have 10k HAM to knock off, you'll see the damage it took over all three bars... 1k HAM? 3k floaty.

so you may think you're boned, but you just need to test it on something bigger, I'd say.

notice, everyone, that I DIDN'T suggest running into the sarlacc pit... or going after a nightsister spellweaver... those are BAD ideas.

Yes is does work fine. But don't try the calc on anything you can kill in one shot.
