Not sure if this is a bug or if it really is an intended gameplay mechanic. Pretty much I noticed that you cannot shoot drivers of vehicles through the front windshield unless you break it first. I find this to be a bit jarring and was wondering if it was a bug or not.
No shots fired
First shot fired. Bullet did not penetrate glass.
Second shot fired. Bullet did not penetrate glass.
Third shot fired. Bullet did not penetrate glass but has broken the glass.
Three more shots fired. All three hit the sign.
This is all the same for shooting at the windshield from the outside as well. Bullets will not penetrate the glass until it has broken.
I don't see how as it is an in game event that does not have to do with the visuals of the game. It looks like an issue relating to the code of the game.Originally Posted by DrBAMF123 Go to original post
My theory is it's an unintended bit of realism on Ubi's part. Most (if not all) modern windshields are hardened laminates and are more resistant than people realize to pistol caliber gunfire.
Oooorrrrrrr........................it's more likely a bug. I hadn't noticed this, so I'll have to check it out! Good post!
BTW: When I was in The Stan (security contracting) we preferred the M240 7.62 x 51mm and the PKM 7.62 x 54R over the M249 5.56 x 45mm for VCP, base, and mobile defense against VBIEDs (vehicle born IEDs) because of the much better penetrating power of the .30 cal rounds over the .22 cal M249 against windshields of oncoming admirers with a car full of explosives! 50s were even better!![]()

I'm not sure realism would exactly fit for this situation. Either way, I'd like to be able to shoot an incoming vehicle silently without the driver spotting me and alerting everyone around me.
Either way, AP rounds actually pierce it and break the glass in two shots, compared to the normal bullets breaking it in three.
It's gotta be a bug on pc then. It happens with all guns using normal ammo.Originally Posted by DrBAMF123 Go to original post
