Damage Value - The number of Hit Points subtracted from Target's Total HP Pool when a bullet manages to penetrate through Armor.

Penetration Power - A number used to determine a bullet's penetration chances, and damage inflicted on armor when it fails to penetrate.

Here is a quick explanation of the Table's Headlines meaning: We are aware that there are a lot of numbers featured in the table, and this is why we have decided to divide the table into caliber sections and show the data in a more accessible way in a further paragraph. Let's get down to it, and present charts for all the EfT ammunition available on the market. Cartridges of the same caliber are marked with the same color, and all compatible weapons are listed below each section. This is a complete list of ammunition available in the Escape from Tarkov. This guide aims to show off all important EfT's ammunition parameters, compare different ammo types, point you towards the best cartridge of each caliber, and directly compare two parameters that you are, probably, the most interested in - Penetration Power and Damage Value, within respective calibers. Every Weapon available in the EfT has a variety of compatible cartridges and these cartridges have different properties that determine their combat effectiveness. The other, maybe even more important, component of a successful raid is the right choice of ammo. Bullets drop off over distance, lose velocity while traveling through the air, ricochet after impact, have a chance to fragment after entering the body, and so on. Understanding these gun-play mechanics is vital for in-game success, but it does not guarantee it.
