Only MIRV weapons bypass armor
I promise you rebound and swarm cannons give weapon experience with the secondary damage. Ground Pounders do too (though Crash Boomer will level you faster if you run skitterlings). I don't know about BMGs or mass cannons, but I would assume they work or are supposed to work the same.
As for the shotguns, they work as hit and run weapons, running from cover to cover. They work fine for taking on small groups of heavies.
And the spanner protector gives 50% damage reduction as far as I can tell and is an awful weapon for individual play, but throw one in a group and 50% damage reduction suddenly becomes useful (I would assume).
