(Answered) IO - All special armor and forcing PSRs

Threads https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=62102.0 and https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=33515.msg1415839#msg1415839 discuss requisite damage to Hardened armor force a PSR.

Can we assume the line of reasoning applies to all armors that reduce the effect of incoming attacks?
A hatchet strike from a Berserker wouldn't force a PSR against a mech with Impact Resistant Armor(IO 88)?

Two Heavy PPC hits to the chest of a mech with Reflective Armor (TO 281)?

Anti Pentrative Ablation armor would have no effect because it only affects chance of critical with TAC/Floating Crit and armor piercing weapons.

PSRs forced by damage are based on the damage actually taken by a unit, not what would theoretically have been dealt before any possible damage modifications.
