Why Fragmentation Bugs Matter When Choosing Ammunition In Tarkov
888In today’s video we expand on a recent test put together by Veritas around bullet fragmentation, showcasing a bug where rounds that should fragment do not on the Thorax and Stomach hitboxes of PMCs.

With this in mind, what ammo does this impact the most? The rounds that can one tap with a fragment that otherwise cannot, such as T46-M, LPS and M80 suffer from this, as well as those that would be able to two shot PMCs to the thorax hitbox like M856A1 and M855A1 - armor depending of course.
We firstly investigate to ensure that our own results are consistent for these ammo types with the testing done already, both in offline and live, and then show how a two shot thorax kill is now very unlikely with 5.56 rounds.
Finally, there are a few rounds that are not affected by this bug particularly, specifically 762 BP and .45 AP because have a combination of low fragmentation chance anyway, and have high enough damage to ignore the issues associated with 3 shot thorax kills most of the time.
