Capacitor Discharge vs Armor

So last night I used Capacitor Discharge against a heavily armored Gatekeeper and the armor took most of it, dealing only 1 damage. I thought Capacitor Discharge was suppose to bypass armor? Or have I been taking crazy pills all this time?

I don't know wether it's important or not, but was it open or closed?

Pretty sure it was closed. Otherwise it wouldn't that much freaking armor.

Gatekeepers have damage reduction in addition to armor thought i don't know exactly how it works and it shouldn't reduce Discharge to 1 but every weapon does reduced damage on Gatekeepers before armor application.

I definitely did see the [Armor 5] icon pop up (I managed to shred it a little bit beforehand) when I used CD, so it's not just the normal gatekeeper damage reduction.

Pretty sure that's a vanilla bug. Think I've seen that before and not just on Hatekeepers.
