Physically this doesn't make sense. Bludgeoning piercing slashing all have effects on breaking a rock.

A hydraulic press is just a slow application of high forces from a pressure trick.

Getting hit by a high pressure oil leak can certainly resemble being shot.

See, as an example, water jet cutting

Physically its all same force, electromagnetic, but I think it misses the point. Nobody thinks that lightning is the same as slashing.

They have different physical modes of action, yes, but "force" doesn't describe a distinct mode of action.
