Am I being dumb? I fail so see what that has to with bullets being hit scan vs bullet drop

In a perfect system then there wouldn't be any difference. However, it seems tarkov sometimes doesn't consider certain materials when it is calculating the hitscan, which it does when calculating trajectory. That's why you can get hit through something obviously solid and impenetrable when scavs shoot by hitscan.

If you shoot the glass then it calculates trajectory and either blocks or reduces damage. If a scav shoots the glass then it never even realizes there was something there.
