Can shotguns penetrate wooden fences?

[Plok!]

Thin wooden fences found around every village.

my guess slugs yes buckshot no

Most buiildings have collison except where there is an abvious gap. but its more likely you'll penetrate with a slug then buck.

You might experiment with infected: find one standing near a fence, and shoot him through the fence to test it. Some surfaces in the games, such as most doors, can be penetrated by bullets.

DayZ unless they have disabled it should have the same sophisticated penetration system as ArmA 3. If the caliber is big enough you can drop what's behind a barrier.
Even possible back in ArmA 2. Poor guy though a car door is good cover against .308.
The other one in ArmA 3.
Brick wall penetrated with a .338 from 300m dropping the target behind it.

I tried with sawed off shotgun with double shot 2 slugs. Did no damage at all. I ran around and shot the guy in the face and that did work :)

the more ya know

Not sure about the static fences. I know the player made fences the only vanilla round that will penetrate is the .308

If you cannot even shoot a player through a bush or trees i highly doubt you can penetrate fences. Windows in 0.63 and above were impenetrable for a long time too. The amount of times i have died because my shots were blocked by a bush or even a tiny branch of a tree bears not to be thought about. I doubt very much it will be addressed in the near future either because it has been around since beta and we know the pace of things in bohemia....

I thought you can shoot through bushes? I did get frustrated many times when my shot got stuck in a tree branch though...

Just going to repost the video to show shooting through twigs and missing is a thing depending on the projectile. Bear in mind he is shooting from only 50 yards.
Had encounters where shots went through bushes hit the target behind it.

Just going to repost the video to show shooting through twigs and missing is a thing depending on the projectile. Bear in mind he is shooting from 15 yards.

This is very informational video and all. But I'm here discussing a game that I seriously doubt simulates every single aspect of real life situation. The issue with tree branches is that sometimes you just see a pixel at the end of the branch (if you see it). And the bullet stops right there when you hit it. I think bullets go through bushes (not trees) in the game though.

This is something on the basically the same engine.
