Applied splash damage is always at least 20% of listed secondary damage, before modifiers. Useful for a worst-case scenario, but I don't think anyone will consistently hit ONLY edge of aoe shots. It's most likely going to be a mix, one shot hits direct, another misses, I dunno what the distribution would be, if there is even any consistent distribution, there are certainly a lot of variables.
