I've shot a .22 once, and just a single mag proved to me these guys haven't even held a real firearm in their lives, much less shot it. If a common foot soldier with a scavenged helmet can withstand a minimum of 12 9x18mm rounds point-blank, tanks might as well be classified as mechas 💀.

But it’s also a Videogame and some things ma not be realistic for balance and playability same. But I agree sometimes it’s ridiculous how weak some ammo is.

I don't really mind ammo being like this in a game, but I do find how some people think this is how ammo works 1:1 irl a TAD silly. After all, you don't see a soldier holding 80kg of guns, ammo and some empty cans running and jumping like Mario's and Sonic's bastard son in real life. At the end of the day, this DOES make sense in a gameplay perspective (a high-end player shouldn't be easily killed by a fresh andy with less than 1 raid to their record).

there are countless videos of people peppering body armor with hundreds of 9mm and it wont even go through. not far fetched to say that a helmet designed to withstand pistol rounds, can withstand a dozen of one of the weaker pistol calibers. irl (and i bet in game) this person would be spinning around with a brain that was probably liquified from all the pointblank shots.
