The rules for armor are mostly about penetration and stopping power.  If a 
pistol round had the power to put great gapeing holes in armor 2 it would be 
at least d8's or .50 cal rounds.

All items have a durability rateing.  So that armor 2 wall has a durability 
of about 10-20.  Your standard pistol round will do about 2d4 damage to the 
wall and will not harm it overly.  Several shots at it will reduce it's 
durability until it either falls apart or is shot to peices.  So by all 
means apply the full damage to the object just keep in mind that it takes 
damage too.
