Armageddon shield doesn't kill Egg Guards

I've been told that the game is deliberately coded to make the armageddon shield strip egg guards' shields instead of killing them, which if I recall correctly was a thing since back in 2.0 when those enemies were added to the game. However, I see no reason for this still to be the case, especially now that the behavior of egg guards has been reworked to make them much easier to kill on your own. This makes the armageddon shield a more cumbersome way to deal with those enemies, instead of less.

It probably shouldn't be hard to find the line of code that does this and edit it out.
