0.1 means it has 10% chance of penetrating a body, and 0.9 means 90%. 1.1 pierce means it can penetrate 1 body plus another 10% to penetrate a second one.

First of all, your Ronson 45 has the ability to pierce 4 targets naturally without any augmentation added. And you can't shoot diamonds because it is heavier than gunpowder, so it has terrible velocity thus less penetration. Even with an AP (Armor Piercing) caliber, you still can't pierce a tank, it's not as easy as it is in the movies.

I believe the system wants to have maximum damage upon penetrating each body, unless you want to go real, the game will suck since your job in the game is to kill as many zombies as you can with least amount of bullets. Having a higher velocity means you have higher penetration, HOWEVER, the velocity aids in reducing it's stopping impact which will slow down the bullet or stopping it. It does not increase the damage, however a bullet will very high velocity can both penetrate a target and knocking it back. The higher the veloctiy, the further the knockback.

I hope this helps.
