Example #1: Im shooting an Lifeline, broke her armor and it went to cover. Im throwing arc to push her, and it same moment she peaked and arc landed directly on her. Dead you think? NO! She stayed well and alive with only 50 damage from arc!
#2: Shooting blodhound with blue armor. Took 40-50 damage with al, switching to arc, direct hit. Thinking he is done, starting to revive my teammate, but guess what again... He is well and sound enough to shoot me in tush!
#3 Loba is pushing, I stick arc on her and finish it with one light mastiff hit. Death screen shows around 160 and something damage only from arc...

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.
