Seven 54-damage rounds with rifle-class wall penetration.

Counter-Strike 1.6 values
Base damage is before hitgroup, distance, armor, and material modifiers. Armored damage is the percentage retained while armor covers the hitgroup.
Percentage-based range retention applies once per 500 game units. Penetration count is the maximum penetration stages passed to the CS 1.6 bullet simulation; material and thickness still determine whether a shot exits a surface.
