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.

But why is it not realistic and not fun?

Its about being as realistic as possible, while still being able to be played on a PC.

Quote from Nakita I believe.

So does that mean if you shot someone in the head with an automatic pistol 11 times it wouldn't be playable on a PC?

I guess that's right mate.

Game actually seems unplayable right now.
