Injection Darts, Anybody else actually manage to parse that code? Options

[Kerenshara]

OK, I see the rule as written, but I just can’t parse the code. If all I need is two net hits on the opposed attack roll, why is there an AP rating? Why does it even matter if you use Ballistic or Impact armor? Did I miss something else important?

Injection Darts: For use with dart guns of various types—such as the Parashield pistol and rifle—injection darts carry a single dose of a drug or toxin. Effects depend on the drug payload, but to successfully deliver the payload and penetrate armor, the attacker needs two net hits on the Ranged Combat Opposed Test.
