Tips: Effect of Weapons on Infantry

This article shows how much damage infantry get from a shot by a weapon.

Perhaps this could be a surprise to you but it is true that there's no power difference between the weapons of the Allies and of the Axis.

But note that what I show you in this article only refers to the power of weapons, i.e., damage by a SINGLE shot. The information on this article doesn't contain other sides of the strength of weapons like the accuracy rates. Moreover, the data is according to the default configuration, the data can be different in those modded servers.

In addition to that, there're some other weapons in the game, including vehicles. Hopefully I'll add the data of those weapons to this article in the near future.

There're 3 types of a direct shot, headshot, bodyshot, legshot.
Here I define a headshot as a shot which hits the red part of infantry, and a bodyshot = yellow part, a legshot = blue part (Picture 2).
This might be helpful to know which part of an enemy you should shoot. The effect of a shot differs a lot, so having strategies on this matter would bring you some nice effects like score improvements.

Name of Weapon	The Size of A Maga- zine (The Number of Maga- zines)	Damage by a Head- shot [%]	Damage by a Body- shot [%]	Damage by a Leg- shot [%]
Allies' Assault Rifle: BAR(Browning)	20(6)	74	47	30
Axis' Assault Rifle: StG44	30(5)	60	37	24
Submachine Gun (Allies: Thompson M1928 Axis: Bergman MP18)	M1928 :30(5) MP18 :32(5)	40	27	17
Rifle (Allies: Lee-Enfield No.4Mk 1 Axis:Kar98K)	6(5)	100	77	34
Handgun (Allies:Colt 1911, Axis:Walther P38)	8(4)	40	27	17
Anti-tank weapon (Allies:M1A1 Bazooka, Axis:Panzerschreck)	1(6)	100	100	100
Knife	∞(∞)	100	47	30

*Anti-tank weapons can do things on infantry not only by direct shots. This means you can damage enemy infantry by shooting around them. The damage by an indirect AT shot varies, like 0%-30% (Of course the damage depends on how near you could shoot, approximately a shot about the full length of a jeep away from the enemy can do no damage to him.)
