Can small arms fire take down a tank?

Small arms bullets are mostly lead, and firing them at tanks would tend to vapourise the lead and concomitantly heat up the tank, if the round didn’t bounce off taking its energy with it. The main effect of machinegun fire would be to make the crew “button up”.

Can you shoot through a tank?

Tank armor is just too heavy for a round from a standard 7mm, 7.62mm, 8mm battle rifle to penetrate. Even the armor on an APC (armored personnel carrier) would be too heavy. Standard battle rifles are anti-personnel weapons. They cannot expected to destroy materiel.

Can a machine gun pierce a tank?

Although no longer capable of penetrating even the side armour of modern main battle tanks, they are capable of causing serious damage to their external fittings such as periscopes, optics, sensors, tank treads, and machine guns.

What is the maximum shot rate for small arms?

Small Arms has the 5\% perk. Its theoretical maximum is therefore 33\%, a OMG frustrating 1\% away from 100\% and 3 shots. I didn’t test if the game was nice enough to round up at that point, someone please do? However, they sit perfectly at 7 CHA, resulting in 25\%, or a smooth 4 shots.

How do you treat a gunshot wound to the arm?

A gunshot wound to the arm can usually be treated by applying a pressure dressing and is unlikely to be fatal if treated. A shot to the leg depends mainly on if the femoral artery is damaged. If the femoral artery is not damaged, death is unlikely with prompt treatment.

How dangerous is it to get shot in the shoulder?

Depends. If you get shot in the femoral artery, for instance, you will most certainly die unless you get proper medical attention. If, by a stroke of luck, you get hit in your shoulder, you should be fine, going to a doctor is highly advisable.

Are gunshot wounds to the extremities survivable?

While gunshot wounds to the extremities are survivable, they can be fatal and will usually result in extensive permanent damage to the affected arm or leg. That damage could extend to requiring amputation in some cases.
