Something very key to understand is the difference between cover and concealment. Something that is '''cover''' will hide you from view ''and'' stop a bullet. Something that is '''concealment''' will hide you from view but will ''not'' stop a bullet. While obviously sandbags are cover, and bushes are concealment, understand that even something that is '''fully opaque''' can be just concealment. A ~~very~~ common misconception is that a home's walls will stop bullets. In a standard civilian home it is very likely any given wall will ''not'' stop a bullet {{Emdash}} especially if fired from a rifle {{Emdash}} and so that is ''still'' concealment.

Unlike many FPS games where any wall will stop any kind of bullet, various walls in Arma absolutely will ''not'', and you can be shot through it just fine. But the same also applies to you.
