CE is a total conversion mod that replaces RimWorld’s hit-chance calculations with a physics-based ballistics engine. Bullets are no longer abstract rays that check for hit percentages; they are physical projectiles with mass, velocity, and trajectory.
Armor is no longer a percentage chance to ignore damage. It has specific "sharp" and "blunt" penetration values. If a bullet's penetration is lower than the armor's rating, it simply bounces off.
