Effectiveness Est. Avg. Shots Stopped By Armor Before Killing
0 Pointless 20+ Can't penetrate in any reasonable amount of hits
1 It's Possible, But... 13 to 20 Typically doesn't penetrate at all for a large number of hits, or starts with a very low chance and barely increases
2 Magdump Only 9 to 13 Has a very low or no penetration chance intially and very slowly gains chance
That armor will stop quite a few of your bullets 3 Slightly Effective 5 to 9 Has a low penetration chance intially and slowly gains chance, or quickly damages armor until it penetrates
4 Effective 3 to 5 Starts with a low-medium penetration chance but quickly increases
Has no problems against that armor 5 Very Effective 1 to 3 Penetrates a large percent of the time intially, often quickly going to >90%
6 Basically Ignores <1 Initially penetrates >80% of the time
*Note this is just a comparison guideline on what you should use and not always exactly representative of it's true #of shots performance against armor

Damage - This is how much health damage a bullet does
Pen Value - A value used to determine how well a bullet penetrates armor and how much durability damage it does to armor, the higher the better.
Armor Damage % - A modifier used in calculating durability damage, the higher the better.
Frag. Chance - The chance a bullet will fragment, splitting into pieces on hit and essentially dealing 50% extra damage. *Note that fragmentation chance is currently bugged, and chances will be lower than their chance implies, and any ammo with less than 20 pen value will be completely unable to fragment.
A more detailed explaination on how these values affect damage and armor penetration can be found here:
