Definition:

Shots to Ruin is the estimated number of shots required to completely ruin a weapon’s barrel. It measures barrel endurance: higher values mean the barrel lasts longer before becoming unusable.

Formula:

$$\text{ShotsToRuin} = \frac{(hitpoints^2 \times barrelArmor)}{damageBarrel}$$

Where:

  • hitpoints = base durability of the barrel (health points of the item)
  • barrelArmor = protective factor of the barrel (resistance multiplier)
  • damageBarrel = damage applied to the barrel per shot

Notes:

  • High values → the barrel can sustain more shots before being ruined.
  • Low values → the barrel degrades quickly, leading to faster ruin.
  • 0 → calculation is not applicable (e.g. if any variable is invalid or zero).
