Is a shots damage applied simultaniously or sequentially?

Shots have got a primary and a secondary damage. Is it applied simultaniously or sequentially? And if it's applied sequentially is the primary damage applied before the secondary damage?
My experiences with the heavy flak suggest the latter (I think I've occasionaly destroyed a damaged ships hull armor and perma hull with a single shot). However an offical confirmation of this thesis or a rejection + elaboration of what actually happens would be nice.

It is, indeed, the latter-the primary damage is applied, then the secondary. For more info, you can read this thread https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,226.0.html.
