As the video posted above demonstrated, the materials you describe seem to have little effect on a .50 cal round. Also, as to what Bigduke6 said, curling up into a ball, piling up furniture and the such don't seem to be a feasible defense against high-powered rounds being poured into an occupied building. Not in my opinion, anyway. I really think that the bullet penetration effect is under modeled.

Awesome, thanks for the input guys. I'm glad to see the different penetration is modeled to a degree, though I would admit (as some of you have) that it may be a little underwhelming. **edit** After watching that video, and the awesome power of the .50 cal, I would shudder to think what would happen if anyone was hiding inside a structure when under fire from an M2HB. The secondary fragmentation alone would cause casualties, let alone the primary rounds. [ September 12, 2007, 06:06 AM: Message edited by: SlimBrad ]

Heya folks, While I was banging away at Syrians holed up inside a building with an M2HB, I was wondering if the game has modeled the different penetrating-power of different calibers; I.E. the .50 cal will punch through walls more readily than 5.56mm, so guys hiding in buildings aren't necessarily covered as well as they would hope. I know all the tracers bounce of the walls when they hit, regardless of caliber, but I'm hoping that doesn't mean ALL the rounds are bouncing off.
