Ballistics (0.8.0.5716.30071) backup

Suppressors are currently modifying damage. These damage values are without suppressors.
The ballistics page covers mechanics and statistics of weapons, ammunition, and armor in Ghosts of Tabor. More information about the items can be found on the weapon and gear pages.
==Protection Grade==
Protection Grade (PG) is the ballistics team's term to rate armor's effectiveness. It ranges from PG 1 to PG 6. It is not tied to the concepts of tier, class, NIJ, GOST, etc. 
==Armor Changes==
Armor had a major overhaul in the May 2024 0.7.1 patch: 
*Protection is applied to the entire body part. Previously there were unprotected areas such as the sides of the torso.
*Protection is applied equally to all covered body parts. Previously protection on arms, legs, etc. was weaker than the chest.
*Blunt force damage was added. Previously a blocked shot did no damage. Now a non-penetrating shot will do damage according to the armor's Protection Grade as indicated in the Armor Table section.
*Armor protection values were changed as indicated in the Equipment Protection Grades table.
*Ammunition penetration values were changed as indicated in the Armor Table section.
*Blunt force damage works on helmets too.
==Body Parts==
The damage you take is modified by the body part hit. Be aware that bullets can go through body parts such as the hand and hit the body a second time doing additional damage. 
Body Part Damage Multipliers
Body Part 	Damage Multiplier
Head, Neck 	100%*
Pelvis, Upper Arms, Upper Legs	50%
Lower Arms, Lower Legs 	35%
Hands, Feet 	25%
Elsewhere 	100%
* A penetrating shot to the player's head or neck is always fatal. A bullet stopped by armor will still do blunt force damage as normal to those parts.
==Damage Tables==
We calculate damage based on weapon properties and verify with testing. As bullets travel they lose velocity and damage is reduced.
The table values represent hit points out of 100 (percentage health). The values are for max damage when the gun is held right up to a torso with no armor. Because bullets slow down due to drag, the actual damage your target takes will be lower based on range and any obstacle it went through. A gun that kills with two shots up close may require three or more to kill at longer ranges. You are looking at a collective effort of many people. Thank you to our #wiki-fandom volunteers for testing!

==Armor Mechanics==
Recall from the Body Parts section that the final damage applied is modified based on the body part hit. When you are hit, you always take damage:
*If you are hit on naked flesh, you take full damage.
*If you are hit on armor and the bullet penetrates, you will take less damage. The armor reduces the damage (Pierce Multiplier).
*If you are hit on armor and the bullet does not penetrate, you will take even less damage. You receive blunt force damage (Blunt Multiplier).
The game no longer checks if the bullet hits an armor plate or not. It only checks if the body part has armor. 
Bullets can ricochet off helmets but not armor. Many helmets do not protect the whole head. It's possible to hit someone in an exposed location such as the face and score a fatal headshot.

===Armor Table Analysis===
Visit the Time to Kill page to see an in-depth look at what this data means for battlefield performance.
 Average Damage = (Penetration% * Pierce Mult) + ((1-Penetration%) * Blunt Mult)
It is possible to combine the effects of penetrating damage and non-penetrating damage into one value using the law of averages. This means you may take more or less damage from a few hits due to the RNG nature of penetration but if you were to be shot thousands of times, the damage reduced by your armor would look like this table:
Armor Damage Reduction by PG
 	LBAV	JPC2	VestB	6B102	6B43	R61
Cartridge 	PG1 	PG2 	PG3 	PG4 	PG5 	PG6

PDW AP 	15% 	15% 	15% 	40% 	65% 	93%
Pistol AP 	15% 	15% 	38% 	63% 	90% 	93%
Intermediate 	15% 	35% 	57% 	81% 	90% 	93%
PDW 	33% 	52% 	75% 	85% 	90% 	93%

Pistol 	55% 	65% 	75% 	85% 	90% 	93%
A value of 90% means 90% of the damage was reduced. Ten times the number of hits would be necessary to do the same amount of damage as wearing no armor.
==Additional Information==
These subjects may help with the above contents.
===Ammo===
There are three types of ammunition: 
# FMJ (standard) 
#*Cheapest and most accessible
#*Available at trader level 1 Shiro or Jiri
#AP (armor piercing) 
#* Superior to FMJ, usually with higher penetration and higher mass
#*Available at trader level 3 Shiro or Jiri
#TR (tracer) 
#*Typically the worst performing ammunition (damage-wise) but has an added visual effect making it easier to see
#*Available at trader level 2 Shiro or Jiri
Shotguns use 12 gauge shells loaded with buckshot (ST Powder), birdshot (TR Powder), or slug (AP Powder). Buckshot and birdshot have quite a spread so it's difficult to get full damage with those shells.
The different types of rounds have colored tips, FMJ is red, tracer is green, and AP is black. The ammo loader can be loaded with a mixture of bullets. Magazines can be loaded with a mixture of bullets. Individual cartridges can be stored on your waist in an ammo pouch. The pouch has a large capacity and can hold 80+ cartridges or shells. 
Buying a magazine preloaded with FMJ with level 2 Spectre works out to 22 TK per cartridge. Creating your own cartridges using Powder and Brass with trader level 3 works out to 18.5 TK for FMJ,, 19.8 TK for Tracer, and 34.3 TK for Armor Piercing. A jar of powder holds 25 powder. Creating one box requires 5 powder and 1 brass (the recipe is shown on the selection screen). It is not recommended to buy brass in bulk in brass jars. The jar by itself is over 11000 TK. This misleads people to think the brass comes as part of that price but the brass piles are extra. 
You can purchase empty DLC magazines by manually removing (or firing) the bullets and then scanning the empty magazine. This is useful if you want to insure the magazine and later fill it with AP. 
===Ricochets and Bullet Drop===
There is a chance for ricochets to occur at varying angles and on various surfaces. In some cases with a direct shot to a wall head on, it will ricochet back to the shooter for a self-own. Surfaces known to cause ricochets: brick , concrete, bulletproof glass, metal, and rock.
Yes. There is bullet drop in the game. There are two easy tests you can do to see for yourself. Test #1 Load a magazine with tracer bullets. Go into a training raid on Night Island. Fire the entire mag high into the air. The rounds will go up and then fall like fireworks falling from the sky. Test #2 Load a magazine with tracer bullets. Go into a training raid on Night Island. Get about 200 to 300 meters from the lighthouse. Fire at the left side of the lighthouse. Not only will you see the bullet drop before it gets to the lighthouse, you will also see bullets ricochet off the brick and change path to the left. You can then see the arc of the bullet path from the side.

===Throwables Mechanics===
All but RDG2 smoke: 
* Grenade will not explode while pin is inserted.
*Pin cannot be reinserted.
*A timer begins when you release grip of the grenade. At the end of the timer the grenade will activate. This timer is called the fuse timer or cook time.
*You can force the timer to start by pressing trigger to cook the grenade while it's still in your hand.
Impact grenades: 
*URG86 and RGO are the two impact grenades in the game.
*An impact grenade will still explode at the end of the timer if an impact is not registered.
*The grenade needs to hit with enough force to activate the impact fuse.
Smoke grenades: 
*RDG2 starts its timer when you pull the cord. It doesn't wait for you to release the grip.
*Smoke grenades continue to release smoke, generating smoke chunks at intervals at its location.
*You can pick up a smoke grenade from the ground while it is active and throw it again.
Flash grenades: 
*The range that flash grenades will affect a player is around 10 meters.
*If you are looking at the flash grenade when it activates, your screen will turn black. There may also be a spot on your screen where the grenade was. This is sometimes called a retinal burn or flash-blindness.
*If you are in the range of the grenade, your audio will be replaced with a high pitched noise representing temporary hearing loss.
*The visual effect has two phases. In the first phase, you are blinded completely. This lasts for around 10 seconds. After that, your vision slowly begins to return. The screen will brighten, and the black visual effect will become more transparent allowing you to see. This lasts for around 10 seconds.
* The audio effect is loudest at the beginning and slowly fades away. It lasts through both visual phases.
*The visual effects can be avoided by not looking at the grenade even if you are within the affected area.
Fuse times: 
*Times were obtained using video editing software and analyzing footage frame by frame.
*Flash grenades have a 1.5 second fuse.
*Damage grenades have a 3 second fuse. Time tested with M67.
*Smoke grenades have a 3 second fuse. Time tested with RDG2.
