Introduction
Yamato seems to be exceptionally capable with offensive applications of Busoshoku, having given us a couple of the more impressive offensive feats of pure Busoshoku we've gotten from non swordsmen.
Zoro has much crazier feats, but his feats (bar slicing the Wano coastline) also incorporated his swordsmanship.
Offensive Barriers
Busoshoku can be flowed outwards from the body (or chosen weapon) form a barrier. This barrier can be used offensively:
There are several examples of the Busoshoku flow being used this way.
Boa Marigold used it to deflect Luffy's Jet Stamp:
Sentomaru used it to attack Luffy:
Rayleigh used it to block the Elephant's attack and knock it down:
Hyougoro used it to crush Alpaca Man:
One thing that all the above uses of barriers for offence have in common is that they are very limited to close range applications.
Yamato is also capable of flowing her Busoshoku to create offensive barriers, but unlike in the above instances, she has no such range limitations:
Interestingly, Sasaki was quite alarmed to witness this display from her:
In close Ranged applications of Busoshoku barriers, we see her decimate Wano forged thick steel shields:
Busoshoku Projectiles
Beyond merely flowing Busoshoku to create barriers, one can shape/mold it to form a projectile for more focused damage without the range restrictions.
This appears to be a much higher level of offensive Busoshoku as we've only seen two examples of this so far. One of them was from the Pirate King Gol D. Roger himself.
His Kamusari:
The other of course was from Yamato.
Her Narikabura Arrow:
Sasaki is once again showed to be alarmed (to an appropriately greater degree) when he witnesses her Busoshoku:
As an aside, I imagine that Busoshoku projectiles is how Top Tier marksmen like Beckman fight.
Conclusions
Yamato appears to be an incredibly proficient Busoshoku specialist. She's capable of utilising a form of Busoshoku we had previously only seen from the Pirate King Roger.
Her Busoshoku also has decent hype given how Sasaki reacted to her on the two occasions she used it.
However, she could not use the penetration Busoshoku Luffy used to remove her cuffs. I am guessing that it's one of:

Yamato > King.

- Busoshoku projectiles are a different Advanced application of Busoshoku flow.
- Busoshoku projectiles are an evolved higher form of Busoshoku barriers.
- They aren't Busoshoku based attacks and are actually Haoshoku based.
