Ballistic Test Chamber

Find areas with varied surfaces and fire at angles to watch ricochets and penetration, comparing outcomes to see how physics affect trajectory.

  • Use environmental cover to test how bullets ricochet off surfaces.
  • Aim for vital zones to maximize the effect of the single‑shot lethality.
