Realistic Shooting Penetration V2

Realistic Ballistic Shooting Penetration overhauls GTA V gunfire behavior by introducing a realistic, material-based penetration system. Bullets interact with surfaces based on their actual material, allowing penetration through wood, furniture, thin metal, and light cover, while solid concrete, rock, and thick steel reliably stop shots. The mod removes unrealistic arcade-style penetration, makes cover meaningful, and delivers more believable and consistent firefight behavior without affecting performance or requiring scripts.
CHANGELOG
V2 - Improved material penetration balance. Refined wood, metal, glass, and environmental material behavior for more consistent and realistic shooting interactions. Adjusted edge cases to reduce over-penetration and unintended bullet pass-through.
If you encounter any bugs, unexpected behavior, or issues with specific materials, please report them so they can be addressed in future updates. Suggestions for improvements or missing material behavior are welcome.

Weapon sound mod in the vid?

@benddd1230 All transport vehicles are subject to fire. You'll have to fix this, as armored vehicles and even tanks are also subject to fire (which is unrealistic). Military fortifications (sand gabions, sandbags) are also subject to fire. Please fix this.
Dope
@benddd1230 did bullets go through all types of vehicles also armored ones and tanks ?
@gti92 I know about the problem, it will be fixed later.
@Pehotinec_78 Thanks for reporting it will be fixed as soon as possible.
@benddd1230 ok great
@gti92 Unfortunately, GTA V uses the same material for civilian and military vehicles, so penetration cannot be separated at the material level. Disabling penetration affects all vehicles, including civilian ones.
@benddd1230 ok, that's so unfortunate
benddd1230 what is the graphics bro, i need
@candyxblaze Quantv
@benddd1230 i downloaded quantv and looked nothing alike, what about the textures for road
Does this break the sniping segment in the mission Nervous Ron? I remember having issues because the lights couldn't be shot out due to penetration settings in another mod.
