Hello - I just want confirmation that I am reading the Smash rule correctly (note I am playing 6th edition)

For any creature with Smash, the rule states that every CC attack is AP2.

Does this override the weapon's AP value?

e.g. I have a Hive Tyrant with Bone Swords (AP3) and the Prehensile Princer (AP5), do they both become AP2?

Yes, unless the weapon is Ap1.

I can't say for sure on tail weapons, Nids might have specific rules there.

Tail weapons don't benefit from Smash.
