The most preferred times to 'wallbang' is when enemies have retreated and have taken cover behind walls or props. If you suspect a large group of enemies behind a penetrable surface, you can spray bullets at the wall(s) separating visual contact between you and targets or burst-fire and aim at the head when you have sufficiently practiced. Meanwhile, burst-firing should allow users to conserve ammo but it can alert nearby assailants and they can avoid being killed themselves. Spraying is fairly risky as it can waste ammunition (although it can make it harder for enemies to retreat from volleys of bullets). You can either spray or burst-fire your bullets. When a bullet loses all of its damage, it fails to penetrate through the material. When an object has a different entrance and exit surface material, the damage lost is calculated using the average resistance of the two.Ī bullet loses some damage immediately upon making contact with the surface (a bullet with a lower penetration power value loses more) and continues to lose damage as it travels through the material. The surfaces of objects the player shoots through and the materials they are made up are all related to the difficulty in penetrating. Thus, pistols (except the Desert Eagle), shotguns, and submachine guns should not be used for wallbang purposes. The penetration power value for each weapon can be viewed in the in-game buy menu.īefore Source, low caliber rounds were unable to penetrate unbreakable walls or props, such as breakable glass until it was broken or very thin wood. In addition, the M2 Browning Machine Gun featured in custom maps or beta maps cannot penetrate walls at all despite using heavy caliber. Prior to Counter-Strike: Source, assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, and the Desert Eagle were the only weapons that could penetrate through walls. Nova has the lowest penetration power (1). Sniper rifles have the highest amount of penetration power which is usually around 300. Rifles and machine guns have good penetration powers, usually around 200.

The Desert Eagle and the R8 Revolver are the only exceptions amongst pistols, having a penetration power of 200. Submachine guns, shotguns and most pistols have low penetration powers (usually 100). The total number of surfaces any bullet can penetrate in a single flight is capped at 4. A value of 0 means that that weapon will never penetrate any objects, while a value of 300 means it will penetrate harder surfaces for greater distances. Each weapon has a different penetration power value which ranges from 0 to 300.
