Even if it goes all the way through and out the other end it's not going to have a great enough speed to pierce the second guys flesh.
Not if I'm using a sniper rifle... That'll penetrate the first persons body extremely easily... But will slow the bullet down quite a bit, however, will still have enough speed and momentum to kill two other people if they're standing behind each other.
And a Deagle (Desert Eagle, the most powerful pistol) close range, can blow someone's head off. That's how powerful it is. and the recoil can knock someone out.
I've shot and killed two people who ran and his behind a cement wall in Afghanistan before... From 400-600m away... Using my Barrett M99.
Hid* They ran behind the wall... A couple hours later looking at that wall... And neither came out... And you can see if you hit them because there was another wall that the blood sprayed onto... not a pretty sight at all...
In mass effect 3 your guy is a commander. You get good points if you avoid just straight up massacring everyone, but you get bad points if you shoot everyone in sight. In one of the scenes somebody says they just killed someone. They were nearly throwing up. He asked the commander if it ever gets easier, knowing you just took a human life. Does it?
Killing is the last resort as a sniper... We don't want to kill, but we have to just to protect the squad we're looking out for, if the enemy (Taliban) start firing their AK's...
You guys shouldn't so bad to sin! He is still of some worth!! Come on guys!! Somehow we got to get him back alive!!!
