Bullet penetration

**GreenGod** · 09-13-13, 08:08 AM

Saw this on reddit, figured ya'll would appreciate.

Original thread: ArmA's bullet penetration system: quite impressive actually. : arma

According to this guy, bullet penetration depends on:

angle, speed, and type of bullet being fired
thickness and material of wall/obstacle
density of target (meat?)

Cool stuff!!

Huh, nice! I never noticed, haha. Though, I'm not surprised given the realistic bullet simulation that arma already has.... Just need destructive environments now... Oh wait, is this only arma 3? Or did arma 2 have this as well?

Apparently these are fairly new changes to ARMA 3 (latest patch I believe).

ArmA 3 currently has destructive buildings.

Yepp. Some just need a little more oomph to take em down.

That's pretty informative. Echelon and I were messing around with the billet am last night. Some of the ricochets can travel for a while.

Yea I am not sure what type of server Lenymo tossed up on his home PC but it had a shooting range. With Bullet Aim. (Fire a shot and your camera follows the bullet). We were testing overall speeds of rounds. The richocets were incredible. Hitting a target at 1600 meters hitting ground and taking flight again.

Very interesting results. On bullet travel speed. Every target hit told you the travel speed of the bullet. We definitely found the Lynx was faster than Cheetah

Zafir was 1300mph at 1.6km.

I was running Losis Armory from steam workshop. Has a lot of cool features on it and is great for testing purposes Steam Workshop :: Losis Armory Altis
