I tested this in the firing range, and direct impacts to flesh will deal 30 damage, and the resulting explosion will deal 70 knocking out any 100 health target. Sticking head does no bonus damage.

Direct sticks to shielded targets will deal 90 damage, and the resulting explosion will deal 70. Again, no head bonus. 

Not sticking the target damages are listed here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Arc-Star-Nerf/m-p/9165659#M52109

Unsure of how you're getting 50 damage.

    It shouldn't be doing that, but I too remember times during S1 / Preseason where I'd stick targets for 50 damage. I'm guessing it's a bug. Wouldn't be surprised if it was.
