This does not include penetrating the level geometry (see `wall penetrators´ for that).
For the semantic, overpenetration is actually a misnomer since full penetration of the target is desired for full effect, but in video games and fiction it is often seen as a major improvement to the gun's deadliness in crowds and requires additional computation beyond first target, so this is not often done in them. Thus overpenetration is perhaps better called optimal rather than over penetration.
