Server-authoritative penetration
Developer wedl3 built a multiplayer ballistics system in which penetration and damage depend on the material hit and the number of layers a projectile crosses. The client sends the impact position, hit object and other projectile data to the server, while visual effects spawn at the entry point.

The tutorial series demonstrates shooting through walls and building a comparable material-aware system. Multiplayer authority, collision settings and replication costs should be tested under current Unreal Engine networking before production use.
