SiN Episodes - Bullet Penetration

← SiN Episodes Level Creation

For simplicity's sake, the bullet penetration system in Sin Episodes works in the same way as in Counter-Strike: Source. For example, the Magnum primary fire has a penetration value of 64. Tile has a value of 2. This means that the Magnum shot can fire through up to 32 inches of tile. (64 / 2 = 32)

Actual penetration = (Penetration value / Density value)

Value Tables

The current density values for different materials:
Material	Density
Metal	64
Dirt	32
Concrete	16
Grate	2.0
Tile	2.0
Vent	1.5
Computer	1.5
Wood	1.0

Penetration values for each gun (in Hammer inches):
Weapon	Penetration
Magnum (Primary Fire)	64
Magnum-DUAG (Secondary Fire)	500
Scattergun (Primary Fire)	24
Scattergun (Secondary Fire)	0*
Assault Rifle (Primary Fire)	32
Assault Rifle Grenade (Secondary Fire)	0*
Hand Grenade	0*

Note:* A value of 0 means the bullets do not penetrate any type of material. These values were verified with a simple test map.

Note:Even though the npc_druglab_grunt_pistol weapon does not appear to be a magnum, it is considered a magnum for the sake of penetration.
