Well, this one is kind of relative to the "Stopping Power" thread, but off-topic enough to need its own subject. I think regardless of what type of armor, even if it doesn't penetrate, the round(s) are still going to hurt like the dickens and possibly knock the wind out of the victim.
Which brings me to the "Endurance Level" Infiltration is going implement to manage running (see roadmap). I think it would be neat to use this to also reflect a kind of "stunning" when someone gets wounded, but not outright killed, by a wound. The damage could be debited from an "Endurance Reserve" and as it is depleted, cause a variety of things like:
Knock down (just a drop to ground, no Action movie flailing)
unable to fire
movement slowed
black out (black screen for a few seconds)
any combination of the above.
The endurance meter, unlike health, could be replenished itself with time and rest (not moving or moving slowly).
Of course, usually I am just outright killed by the first volley, so none of this would pertain to me (grin). I just figured it would be a pretty neat addition to the bleeding, loss of limbs and other concepts planning on being implemented, not to mention a bit realistic.
