Sniping through cover question

[renegade1970]

Will all the snipers apart from the drakon of course one shot kill through the walls on the nuketown map, mainly the upstaairs rooms on both sides.

I've been using the RSa intradiction which only deals 75 damage per shot and cant kill through these walls.

I cant remember if i did it with the locus and SVG which have damage of 95 and 99

Will FMJ guarantee the OSK kill on the RSA through cover

You'll really just have to test that sort of thing for yourself. There's no way that I know of for us to accurately calculate it. I can tell you that all the snipers at least have the potential to one shot through walls with FMJ, and technically even without, but beyond that, I don't know what will or will not work for those specific walls.

Sorry, I know that's probably the least helpful thing you've ever heard. Someone else might have a better answer though.

Snipers have high penetration. I figured perhaaps FML increasing the damage by one unit may at leasdt make it one shot through light and medium cover but im not sure how the base damage impacts this either

FMJ only increases the damage done through cover, not the distance that the bullets can penetrate. So if you can hit a person through something then it's technically 'possible' for you to one shot them, and that's all I meant with that comment. But once again, I can't tell you whether or not a specific weapon will one shot through that specific cover. Like I said, the easiest and best way to find out would just be to test it.

If you can check the game code and find out what material type the wall in question is, and tell us exactly how many units thick it is, and what angle you will be shooting the wall at, we can answer your question.

Den has a great writeup on penetration here: denkirson.blogspot.ca/2012/09/call-of-duty-4_12.html

the upstairs rooms on nuketown on both sides.

thats the only place i ever shoot through cover.

I assume its a medium type of cover, so FMJ would bump it up to light cover i assume?

Im not sure how aa snipers base damage if it comes into the equation as u have 99, 95 and 75 for the snipers

Did you even read what Will Wheatley linked?

[renegade1970]

yes, its useless information as its from an old COD game
