And I forget where I read that maximum penetration is extented with the following formula:
extrapenetration=HE penetration + Warhead size.
So, if we had HE=2, warhead=3, and armor=4, in some cases (I don't know the percentage) we get damage, despite the fact that normally the penetration is lower than the armor value.
So, with the same principle, for the rifle ammo (for example) HE=0, Warhead size=1, we must have a penetration of 1 !!! in some circumstances. Again, I don't know the odds. Maybe is usefull somebody from the developers to state that.
