AP Bullet

[Courier 6]

Armor piercing bullet doesn't work with armored guy helmet ?
it still takes two shots, one for the helmet and another for the head.

yeah...crap isn`t it?

There's an exposed part of the helmet that you need to shoot (the back of the head). If you shoot the front, yeah, it's gonna ding and take another shot. A standard round can kill in one shot if you hit the exposed area.

Those helmets, btw, are probably some heavy alloy like steel (not exactly sure) and it would depend on the calibur of bullet. Have you tried shooting them head on with a .50 AP round?

I haven't tried to hit the exposed area, thanks guys.
might gonna try to hit'em with .50cal someday.

The armored dudes with machineguns come in two flavors: One with a ballistic face mask and one with a large helmet who's also wearing a black balaclave.

Shooting the mask of the former is going to ablate the hit from .338 Normal, 7.62mm normal and 7.62mm AP rounds (not really sure about other ammo, sorry) and cause the mask to shatter. However, the back of their is exposed and, for the most par, an easy target to hit with just about anything. The expected effects happen when they are hit here.

The only thing I know for certain about the one with helmet and balaclava is their face is vulnerable to 7.62mm ammo, and the helmet should be pennable by AP ammo from there. Haven't done a lot of testing with other amo types on account of primarily just using 7.62mm semi-auto sniper rifles.

Odd, cause in my cause, it actually blow his head apart. Although to be fair, I don't think they were the same heavily armored mooks that you encountered. Are they wearing all black with red stripes? Because while mine wore helmets with a face mask, the AP version of the 7.62 was more than enough to penetrate (to the point of splitting their head open). Although I think it was more likely to be a gas mask rather than a face plate one like Amarzi.
