Tutorial #12: Bullet Penetration

Our system implements a simple method of bullet penetration.  In many popular FPS games, players can shoot through walls to damage enemies on the other side.

Lots of physics / vector 3 calculations are involved. Since there are many ways to do this, we’re not going to force you to do things one way — we left this open for you to decide.  If you want advanced bullet penetration, send us an email with the suggestion and, if there’s enough demand, we will implement it in an add-on later.

The basic rules are these:
