Penetration probability is calculated by comparing bullet penetration power to the armor's current durability percentage and armor class. If bullet pen exceeds armor class by 10 points (e.g. Pen 45 vs Class 4), the first shot has over a 90% chance to penetrate directly into the flesh.
Yes. When a high-damage, high-caliber round (like 12/70 AP-20 Slug or .338 Lapua Magnum) is stopped by armor, it still transfers substantial blunt kinetic damage (15-25 HP per shot). Consecutive hits can zero out your thorax health pool and cause death even with 100% plate integrity.
