0006468: The 7N6M penetration is slightly worse than the 7N6

The "shots" diagnostic mode shows truer ballistic path and speed data than the scripted trace function in vanilla Arma 3. https://imgur.com/a/fnan0Uv [^] The vanilla tracing script has some limitations making it difficult to do direct comparisons between small separations of the wooden panels because sampling only takes place every few frames and if the projectile has travelled a certain distance. It doesn't necessarily create the sample points where the bullet has struck a surface 7N6 does seem to have slightly higher speeds after penetration than 7N6M ingame, because its initial velocity is also slightly higher. But as shown above, 7N6M still has more potential to be lethal in the above scenario.
