Sure it does.. Isn't the damge already implied from the Gun type. So when you cut it half your going off of what that gun produce.
Addtionally the way you guys are doing it your completly leaving out the body part that gets hit... A bullet is more likely to go through a stomach wound (more soft tissue) but less likely to go through a chest wound (chance of hitting bone is greater. ) What if the dude being used as cover is a 400 pound sumo wrestler vs 120 thug (bullets less likely to go through the mass of the 400 guy. )
To much to worry about from a calculation standpoint. I say check to see if he hit.. if its close roll a percentage.
It all works out to the same thing. My way you have a straight perntage to hit something through something. Your way is just trying to calculate the percentage though heavy math.
Anyway all of this is covered in the actual DC roll anyway. Thats what concealment is. If you behind something you add concelment to the DC, if you hit you hit.. it hit what was showing, it went through the material, doesnt matter the hit still counts.
