Introduction
So I am making this guide to show the effectiveness of heavy armor and of AP ammo. The shots were fired into the upper back at point blank range. If you have any questions or want anything else tested just tell me in the comments.This guide only shows guns used on competetive, there are too many to do everything else. ~EDIT~ Due to popular request HP ammo has been added for the guns that can use it (not bolt-action snipers).

Conclusion
So all in all my thoughts are light armor is a waste of money and just slows you down and AP ammo is necessary if facing someone with heavy armor. Also, HP ammo is great if you are hitting legs and arms, not chest. Special thanks to Bot Taco and The Russian Bear for being my targets and test dummies, be sure to give them a thanks. Also, look out for my next test which is the effectiveness of buckshot vs slugs at range. IF YOU SEE WHAT YOU THINK TO BE A MISTAKE PLEASE POLITELY LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS

No shit man, look at when it was made

this is outdated i can kill heavy armour with a makarov in less than 10 shots.

Sure, but I don't see it killing a 200 lb. soldier.
Arnold Schwarzetater  [author] 2 Apr, 2018 @ 8:30pm 
I mean a hit to the limb with hollow point rounds will take you out of a fight
Prelude 2 Apr, 2018 @ 5:04pm 
Thanks. Kinda unrealistic, but I guess it helps balance.
