Concealment and cover are two totally different things. Yet Hollywood seems to get the two mixed up. Concealment: You can't see through it. Walls, garbage cans, car doors, etc. Cover: Stops the projectiles (typically bullets) in question. Notice that one does not imply the other. Things that provide concealment may stop bullets, depending on the object and the bullet; others will not. The reverse is also true, things that provide cover might be transparent and thus incapable of providing concealment (bulletproof glass, for example) Hollywood seems to apply this trope most egregiously to both car doors and flipped-over furniture. Car doors are designed to minimize weight and maximize protection against car crashes, and are thus mostly made from plastic with a thin metal plate on the outside; these materials do not, in fact, provide much protection against bullets. Other than police cars and armored cars for VIP protection, which have been specially designed to withstand the impact, there isn't a car on the market whose doors could stop even modern pistol fire. The prevalence of cars providing cover in a gunfight in fiction is probably a result of shootouts in the 1920s, when cars (including the doors) were made entirely of steel and most handguns fired subsonic ammunition. Even then a car provided much less protection against rifle shots, but Hollywood has always had a problem understanding the fact that rifles are much more powerful than pistols. Flipped-over furniture, particularly large tables, is another object that Hollywood tends to treat as a bulletproof shield for protagonists, villains, and mooks alike, despite that being among some of the worst cover you could possibly choose from. More egregiously, when the overturned table does get hit with a barrage of bullets from a handgun, or a light machine gun, the only damage said gun does to the table is splintering the table at places where the shots would land, and leaving the table ruined forever because of it, yet the person hiding behind the table is no worse for wear. In real life, even relatively low calibre bullets will pierce a table because...well, it's a wooden table. Wood is well known for its sturdiness, which is why most furniture is made out of it, but it isn't all that strong of a material, especially when it comes to stopping a bullet. Basically, if a work is set before the 1900's, then tables will actually provide some decent cover due to the prevalence of sub-sonic ammunition. Otherwise, all bets are off. The trope also applies to buildings, however. A bullet will generally be expected to manage 12 inches of penetration in ballistic gel to be considered a useful defense load, and this will generally allow it to penetrate any interior walls of an average American home. Even special frangible rounds are only designed to be stopped by the heavier brick exterior walls so they don't exit the building and hit random passers by. This trope is powered by the Rule of Perception; if you can't see it, you can't hit it. Of course, it's true that it's harder to hit something you can't see, simply because you can't be sure where it is; this trope is about anything opaque being effectively bulletproof. In reality, the only good concealment does is if it is so total the shooter does not know you are there and only then if it is long enough for him/her to move on, for you to ready and use your own weapon, or for you to escape without being seen before you're out of range. Though if you have nothing better that qualifies as actual cover, getting as much mass (of any form from a building wall to a vehicle's engine block) between you and the shooter might turn what would be a fatal wound into a survivable one instead—especially with a lower-caliber bullet or weaker firearm, or it can make it harder for an inexperienced shooter not armed with an automatic weapon to properly aim for a fatal shot. (For example, running into a building won't do a thing for you against someone armed with an Uzi or AK/AR weapon, but it may well save your life against someone with a shotgun or some handguns, especially the further inside you run and the further away the shooter is—one wall between is concealment, two or three or four thick walls is solid cover depending on the weapon and the distance of the shooter.) This can be considered an Acceptable Break From Reality in video games with cover systems, since it would be frustrating to get into what appeared to be cover only to find the enemy could still hit you just fine. Players tend to only object when things no reasonable person would try to hide behind like ordinary glass or picket fences are still totally bulletproof, or the cover system is inconsistent and unclear to use. It tends to be more of a problem when enemies can take cover in places that blatantly aren't cover, such as being protected from a hand grenade by hiding behind a rack of magazines or a handrail. This is common enough that only aversions, subversions and justified cases should be listed. Contrast with The All-Seeing A.I., where cover doesn't equal concealment. This trope has been tested by the Mythbusters. Whether this trope is busted or plausible depends on what the concealment is made of and what is hidden inside the concealment. It's mostly busted for walls vs. bullets. Also see Bulletproof Human Shield, when bodies are used for cover, and Bombproof Appliance or Improbable Cover, for when tissue-paper stops explosions. If the bullet is stopped by some small object on the hero's person, that's Pocket Protector. Contrast Bullethole Door, where bullets are usually more effective than they really should be; having both tropes in the same work is a great way to induce Fridge Logic. |

Repeatedly averted in Ambience: A Fleet Symphony starting from chapter 2, where bullets go through the decayed wood and brick Damon was hiding behind. Bullet (over)penetration is something that the author clearly bothers to take into account and both good and bad guys use it to their advantage. | |

Avoided in John Woo Presents Stranglehold, powerful weapons can—with repeat fire—tear through many walls and columns, including reinforced concrete in some cases. Means you can't hide behind that flimsy pillar forever… Tequila takes advantage of this in one scene, using his Beretta to carve out an outline of a mook hiding behind a table, before finishing him off with a bullet right in the middle of it. | |

Company of Heroes has the same cover system as Dawn of War 2, but letting wooden things provide cover bonuses is probably less justifiable to most people. Try to by assume the same potential explanation from Dawn of War 2. Averted in the sense that ordering your men into flimsy cover is generally a very bad idea; it's relatively poor protection and will fall apart pretty damn fast under heavy fire. Applies to everything once the enemy starts getting tanks. Units in the game have different levels of cover. Red being exposed, yellow being partially covered (reduced damage from small arms), green means fully covered (small arms can't do a damn thing, but explosions will hurt) The game actually handles it somewhat realistically. To expound on the above: Light cover (e.g. wooden fences, hedgerows) and smoke cover will make infantry harder to hit with small arms, whereas heavy cover (e.g. sandbags, stone walls) will reduce both accuracy and damage done against them. There is also building, halftrack, trench, water, bunker and emplacement cover, all with varying effect on accuracy and damage depending on the weapon used. |

Averted in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., where each ammunition type has a value for how far it can penetrate through scenery. This is most noticeable in the second level of the second game, where you have to run from a mounted machinegun capable of killing you in less than a second. Annoyingly because even through an entire tree, while the bullet trajectory and speed are reduced by a great deal, so much so that you can see them dropping to the ground, the bullets still do the same damage as when they were full speed. Made the area into That One Level. | |

Die Hard: Averted in the first film, including one scene where McClane shoots a mook through a table. Also averted twice in Live Free or Die Hard. First when the two main characters are shot at not only through the window, but through the building's exterior walls, and when McClane shoots the Big Bad through himself (specifically, through a previously-existing gunshot wound). |

Death Wish: Averted in Death Wish II when Paul shoots Cutter as he tries to retreat while holding his boombox in front of his face. Kersey's bullet goes right through the boombox and catches him between the eyes. Averted in Death Wish 3: when a mook hides behind a garbage can, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) shoots at him with his .475 Wildey Magnum (which is the most powerful semi-automatic pistol in the world, even more powerful than the Desert Eagle). The bullet goes right through the garbage can and hits the mook (Kersey puts another round into him anyway just for good measure). |

Girls und Panzer. During the Final Battle, three of ÅŒarai's teams fire on the Maus super-heavy tank, then hide behind a small building. One shot from the Maus' 128mm gun blows away the building, leaving the three teams exposed and running for something bigger to hide behind. | |

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: Averting this trope is basically the countermeasure to The Guards Must Be Crazy; enemy mooks have a hard time seeing a crouching gunman twenty meters away with flashlights, and even less when you're behind a wire mesh. Then they bring out the machine guns during red alert, and suddenly that wire mesh doesn't do shit. You'll want something that's a foot solid-thick if you want cover, especially against grenades. | |

MythBusters: They demonstrated that a car door stuffed with phone books will stop bullets fired from handguns. Low-calibre handguns. They showed that a bullet from a handgun could penetrate standard household walls without slowing significantly. The only things that significantly affected the bullet's trajectory and speed were a copper plumbing fixture (deflected the bullet several degrees) and an electrical box (stopped the bullet entirely). Surprisingly, they discovered if you could hold your breath, about 3 feet of water is good cover for modern high speed firearms. The best performer was a musket. |

Played straight throughout all of Borderlands 2, but particularly notable in regards to Terramorphous The Invincible, who is fought in a wide open arena with various outcroppings of rocks that will be destroyed over the course of the fight. There's literally nowhere you can hide for cover, except for one tiny little rock located near the exit of the arena. A player can duck behind this and Terramorphous can't shoot you, even though it clearly knows you're there and literally sees you behind it because it towers over you. If you play as Axton or Gaige, you can deploy your sentry turret or Deathtrap robot to whittle down the boss for you. Time consuming, but doable. | |

Half-Life 2 mostly plays this straight, but thanks to the Havok physics engine, allows objects being used for cover to themselves be used as weapons. Hide behind a stack of barrels, for example, and a charging Antlion Guardian will bash right through them to get at you. Hide behind a car, and it'll throw the car at you. On the same note though, being able to move objects around combined with somewhat crude AI code leads to some absolutely ridiculous uses of objects of dubious protective value, such as the saga of one mans successful assault on a machinegun nest armed with a small plastic jar. | |

Dawn of War 2: The game has pretty much everything short of the ground providing cover bonuses—some stuff could justifiably be so, like plants that may be really tough due to being fictional. On the other hand, the barrels seem to be rather unlikely. Presumably, it uses the same justification as the original tabletop mentioned above. It should also be mentioned that the ground can indeed provide cover bonuses provided you shell the area with high explosives prior to moving in. The troops will hunker down in the resulting craters. Destroyed vehicles remain on the map until destroyed for good, (such as by being rammed by another vehicle) and provide cover in the meantime. |

Averted in Lord of War. The mobster who hides behind a restaurant table only has his luck to thank for escaping the assassination attempt. When we're shown the scene from behind him, it's clear the table has been shot clearly through—he's only alive because the gunmen are woefully incompetent and have sprayed and prayed instead of shooting the table in the center. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), Tom and Sonic avoid the bullets from Robotnik's drone by... hiding behind the table. Even better, Robotnik (who had just been knocked out by Tom) is in the same room as them when Sonic causes the drone to go haywire, yet he's still completely untouched. | |

Discussed in an extra episode of Full Metal Panic! where Melissa Mao and Tessa hold a mock Arm Slave battle. Mao gets tripped up because she tries to fire paint rounds through a small tree, and she complains that real guns would go straight through such a thing. Of course, then Tessa's return fire strikes the edge of the cliff Mao is sheltering on and it gets snarkily pointed out to her that real rounds would have gone through that and trashed her Arm Slave too. | |

Averted in "How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters". Bobby Singer dives into a van, which is fired on by Dick Roman with a Colt .45 revolver. The Winchesters breath a sigh of relief over another narrow escape...only to realise Bobby hasn't responded. |

Called out and railed against for doing in one of the BattleTech Expanded Universe novels, Hearts of Chaos, where "Cowboy" Payson dives into a car for cover in a firefight. After the shooting stops, his buddy Buck Evans chews him out for doing that, noting that any decent military-issued weapon would go easily through a car front-to-back, stopping only for the engine block, which he was on the wrong side of to be of any good. Cowboy claims that it seemed like a good idea at the time, but has the good grace to be sheepish, since, as a mercenary and general ne'er-do-well from a rough part of space, he should know better. | |

Averted in the Discworld novel Men at Arms, when Vimes is attacked: The Gonne clearly shoots through walls, and Vimes has to outwit its wielder. It's explicitly noted that it is only a "lath and plaster" wall, and he knows this thing shoots heavy, lead projectiles with enough force to go inches into oak flooring... What's really great is that he has to outwit his assassin twice—the assassin knows the old "use an arrow to hold your helmet up" trick. Vimes uses a pole used for opening windows. |

In World of Warcraft, you can't even attempt to shoot or cast spells at anything that's out of your line of sight, which includes walls and such. What's odd about this is that some terrain features that you'd ordinarily expect to block line of sight, like trees and hills, don't, so you can shoot through them as easily as through air. Similarly, if a unit moves behind an obstacle after a projectile is launched, said projectile will happily curve to follow them even if it means passing through solid obstacles. | |

In Red Square, a novel by Martin Cruz Smith (one of the sequels to Gorky Park), a German police officer opens fire on a group of suspected assassins (working for The Mafiya) without ever seeing them. He simply unloads a submachine gun through the wall. And then proceeds to do so again, aiming lower in case any of them decided to go prone. He doesn't report this, as his superiors might object to him just gunning down someone without warning or even seeing them. | |

In the Warhammer Roleplaying systems (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Dark Heresy and its spin-offs), cover adds a flat armour bonus to your character to any part that's behind it (although the cover is reduced every time it's penetrated) while concealment just gives your opponent penalties to hit. Being so covered you're not visible just makes it impossible for you to be hit except by indirect-fire weapons (like mortars). | |

In XCOM: Enemy Unknown , plasma and laser weapons will destroy cover. The same cannot be said for your puny starting kinetics. Explosives will also destroy cover. Like the former games in the series, stuff that's cover is liable to stop at least one shooting attack at least before breaking... even if that stuff being used for cover is a mailbox or garbage can. Cars will also explode from being shot up, though after they explode the wreckage they leave behind is by all means unbreakable. Actually enforced by the game's mechanics. Standing in a smoke-grenade cloud and hunkering down behind a waste-high chunk of concrete both give equivalent bonuses to defense. |

The wiseguy then proceeds to simply shoot through the table while making snide comments about how stupid it is to hide behind 'a flimsy fiberboard table'. Prester gets a bullet through the shoulder, but fortunately, he's Made of Iron... | |

Westworld: Averted in "Chestnut." When the Man in Black is gunning down a posse, one dives behind a adobe wall. He switches to the shotgun round in his revolver and shoots the guy right through the wall. Averted in "Dissonance Theory" when Wiliam and Logan are involved in a shootout in a saloon and they hide behind a wooden cupboard. The bartender next to them dies by a headshot when one of their opponents' bullets passes through. However, it is all subverted by the fact that in Westworld humans cannot be hurt by bullets. William and Logan dived for cover out of instinct and would have been just as safe standing in the open. The bartender was a robot and programmed to die in that firefight. |

Metal Gear: In a particularly ridiculous example, in The Twin Snakes, you are attacked by a boss piloting an M1 Abrams tank firing high explosive rounds. You can avoid damage by hiding behind a snowbank. Also averted to a certain extent in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots' online mode. You can hide behind wooden boxes and the like, but if somebody has a high powered weapon you can still get shot if they know where you are. With the right combination of feat and weapon, you can get shot in the head before you peek out of cover. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: Averting this trope is basically the countermeasure to The Guards Must Be Crazy; enemy mooks have a hard time seeing a crouching gunman twenty meters away with flashlights, and even less when you're behind a wire mesh. Then they bring out the machine guns during red alert, and suddenly that wire mesh doesn't do shit. You'll want something that's a foot solid-thick if you want cover, especially against grenades. |

Rainbow Six: In Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield your bullets will pass through glass and chain-link fences, unless you load them with hollow point ammunition, in which case said chain-link fence suddenly becomes impervious to bullets, but only to your weapons and not those of any terrorists. Glass will similarly block a hollow point round, although it will break and allow subsequent shots to pass through. In Rainbow Six Siege certain wooden walls and cover can be both shot and broken through with explosions or gunfire. However, other thicker walls or reinforced walls will stand strong no matter how much ordinance you fire at it. |

Averted in games using the Silent Storm engine, developed by Nival Interactive, such as Silent Storm, Silent Storm Sentinels, Hammer and Sickle, Night Watch, and Day Watch. Any object is destructible with sufficient firepower. While a wall may stop a bullet, it will be destroyed with several more, making cover irrelevant against heavy-cal guns. In fact, continuous fire from such a weapon can easily collapse an entire building, especially when wearing a Panzerklein. Never mind the explosives, which will also level buildings when used. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Averted and discussed. Cover and Concealment differ. In AD&D 1 and 2, Cover penalizes attack roll more, gives the same adjustment to saving throws and 90% cover (i.e. peeking out) turns typical area affecting attacks from "save for half damage" into "half damage save for none". In D&D3 they are entirely separate systems Cover gives a bonus to your Armour Class (with the logic that cover blocks some attacks completely), while Concealment gives a random, percentage-based chance that the attack missed (since it just makes aiming at your real location harder). The humour here is that, against a sufficiently skilled enemy, the bonus to armour class can be made irrelevant by a good enough attack, while the miss chance is virtually always relevant, so under some circumstances, having half of your body obscured by mist or swaying tree branches is better protection than having half of your body behind a stone wall. The exception to this is 'total cover', which is when you are, well, totally covered by something that blocks line of sight (like standing behind a stone wall that completely obscures you from your foe). Characters behind total cover cannot be directly targeted or attacked. This, however, has its own unusual interaction. Fact One: Tower Shields can be used to provide total cover. Fact Two: Equipment and other carried objects are under the same conditions as you if applicable, unless otherwise specified. So when you're hiding behind a tower shield, you have total cover. When you have total cover, so does your shield. |

Particularly noticeable with certain line-of-sight based Ultimates in Overwatch (most infamously occurs with D.Va's, though it can also happen with a few others like Junkrat's and Tracer's).

In Fallout 3, it is perfectly permissible to take cover behind lamp posts or thin trees in order to block gunfire as long as you're standing directly opposite the opponent, even though you should be broader than the cover. Many enemies may even lose track of you if they can't make direct eye contact. It's far from uncommon for a supermutant with a minigun to run up and look for you behind a lamp post. (Although supermutants aren't known to be very bright, so it fits.) Also, due to the general lack of destroyable landscape objects, everything is bulletproof and only takes a few cosmetic bullet holes (though hiding behind any kind of vehicle is usually a really bad idea.) | |

All of the above persists in Fallout 4, but now some objects (shrubs, chain link fences, floor grates) can be shot through. The game also adds the Penetrator perk as an option for characters with a high perception allowing them to shoot limbs through what would otherwise be hard cover, though there still must be enough of the foe visible to pick them up in VATS. | |

Justified in Black Lagoon—the team's favorite drinking spot attracts dangerous weirdos from the whole neighbourhood, so the owner had his bar reinforced for use as cover. Also averted during the "Baile de la Muerte" arc, when the US Army unit "Grey Fox" slaughters the mercenaries hired to kill them by shooting through the walls and doors. | |

Half-Life had this, but many common covers such as crates get destroyed in a few hits. The exclusion being Tau Cannon, which on full charge can blast through a lot of non-destructible objects. Half-Life 2 mostly plays this straight, but thanks to the Havok physics engine, allows objects being used for cover to themselves be used as weapons. Hide behind a stack of barrels, for example, and a charging Antlion Guardian will bash right through them to get at you. Hide behind a car, and it'll throw the car at you. On the same note though, being able to move objects around combined with somewhat crude AI code leads to some absolutely ridiculous uses of objects of dubious protective value, such as the saga of one mans successful assault on a machinegun nest armed with a small plastic jar. Also, the patches of aluminum siding used as cover during the Strider fight at the end of Episode One do protect you from the minigun used by the Strider, but the siding can and will fall off after taking so many shots, exposing you to the Strider (which you were exposed to by climbing the ladder to the platform with the siding). At one point during the chase building up to the fight you can hide behind a shipping container. Sadly you cannot hide behind it for long as once you get behind it the Strider will try to kill you by shoving the shipping container into the wall behind it with its beam attack. The only part of the platform during the actual fight that you can reliably use as cover is the stone support beam just prior to the siding panels, from which you can reload the rocket launcher by grabbing stray rockets on the ground with the Gravity Gun (as the siding panels come off you will be exposed if you go for the ammo crate and if you're a good enough shot with the rocket launcher you should only need at most six rockets; possibly less if you scored successful hits on the Strider on the way to the platform with rockets or thrown Hopper mines (the Strider performs its hit animation when hit prior to reaching the main arena of the fight but it's not clear if the Strider's health is actually reduced). |

Stargate SG-1: Averted. The heroes use C-4 to open a blast door (two blocks, because it's a blast door). The people trapped inside overturn a table to hide behind, but a massive spike of door is embedded in it anyway, nearly skewering someone on the other side. | |

The Brave: Averted when terrorists hold hostages in a narrow hallway and the team needs to take out all the terrorists before they start killing hostages. They realize that the hallway is separated from the neighboring room by only a thin, flimsy wall so they shoot the hostage takers through the wall. The tricky part is that they cannot see into the hallway directly and their aim has to be guided by Mission Control which is accessing a security camera in the hallway. If their aim is off, they might hit a hostage or a terrorist might have the time to open fire on the hostages. | |

Touched on (and generally averted) in Band of Brothers: During the training montage in "Currahee", Sergeant Lipton talks about the advantages of prepared fighting positions, noting they provide both cover and concealment. Played straight in "Replacements". When Sergeant Martin spots a German tank hidden from view around the corner of a building, he goes to warn the approaching British tanks and suggests they shoot through the building to disable it. The British tanker balks at the suggestion, noting the rules of engagement forbid "unnecessary destruction of property" and that he can't shoot what he can't see. His tank is destroyed as soon as it rounds the corner. Subverted in "The Breaking Point". While the woods Easy Company is defending make their positions hard to spot, the surrounding trees actually make incoming artillery fire deadlier - shells bursting in the treetops will not only send shrapnel flying over a wider area, but also create even more shrapnel (and the occasional heavy blunt object) from the destroyed branches. |

Mass Effect 3 averts this with Armor-Piercing Attack that can penetrate some cover. In fact, with enough penetration enhancements it is possible to shoot clean through the floor or walls (though only the geth multiplayer characters really benefit from this: in Hunter Mode they can see enemies through solid objects). Oh, and penetration enhancements stack, so if you've got a gun with innate penetration ability equipped with a gun mod that improves penetration, you can shoot further through cover. In multiplayer mode, it's possible to, with the right combination of gun, gun mods, and ammunition, to have a sniper rifle that can send a bulleth through more than six meters worth of cover and still have enough power to kill a human. And if a gun can shoot through cover, it can shoot through enemies. | |

Fallout: In Fallout 3, it is perfectly permissible to take cover behind lamp posts or thin trees in order to block gunfire as long as you're standing directly opposite the opponent, even though you should be broader than the cover. Many enemies may even lose track of you if they can't make direct eye contact. It's far from uncommon for a supermutant with a minigun to run up and look for you behind a lamp post. (Although supermutants aren't known to be very bright, so it fits.) Also, due to the general lack of destroyable landscape objects, everything is bulletproof and only takes a few cosmetic bullet holes (though hiding behind any kind of vehicle is usually a really bad idea.) All of the above persists in Fallout 4, but now some objects (shrubs, chain link fences, floor grates) can be shot through. The game also adds the Penetrator perk as an option for characters with a high perception allowing them to shoot limbs through what would otherwise be hard cover, though there still must be enough of the foe visible to pick them up in VATS. |

Justified in the first issue of Curveball, because the mooks were using Hollywood silencers, which slowed the bullets down enough that an ordinary couch could stop them the rest of the way. Inverted in the fourth issue, because when you're going up against someone with combat clairvoyance, not only does concealment not equal cover, concealment doesn't even equal concealment. | |

While most enemies in Far Cry 4 play the trope straight, the snipers, who can take about half your life meter per shot through almost any object in the game, are a rather jarring subversion. The .50 caliber sniper rifles CAN shoot through some forms of hard cover, but the 'conventional' rifles like the bolt-action, and the Dragunov can't. | |

Mostly averted in War Thunder Ground Forces - whilst bushes and walls are useful for concealing your tank and will cause HE, HESH and HEAT shells to detonate prematurely (owing to their fuzes' sensitivity), most AP or APHE shells (being a few to a few dozen kilograms of steel moving at over twice the speed of sound) wil pierce them (alongside things like trees or lamp posts) with ease. Played straight with non-destructible scenery objects such as destroyed tanks or buildings, which are perfectly bulletproof. | |

First played straight in a reasonable fashion than Averted in Lethal Weapon 3: Murtaugh was about to be crushed by one of the main villains driving a bulldozer. He shoots at the bulldozer with his standard 9mm handgun, but none of the bullets go through. Murtaugh then gives one of the villain a Karmic Death by shooting through a bulldozer using the same armour-piercing bullets he'd sold to Murtaugh's son's friend who he was forced to kill. Murtaugh killed the friend of his son by shooting through his cover; and the villains killed a young cop by shooting him through both the oil drums he was hiding behind and his bullet proof vest. |

Battlefield: Bad Company included a environment destruction system for breaking down things to hit the enemies behind them; though mostly just wood was easily destroyed from bullets, and explosives were generally needed to damage most things. The sequel is even better about this, with almost no cover being permanent. An easy way to destroy an enemy objective guarded by hostiles in the same room is to destroy the entire building. |

BattleTech: Concealment, typically gained by parking your mech in woods, makes it harder to you. Cover also makes it harder to hit you, but on top of that it will block shots that would hit parts that are behind the cover. The most common example of this is a mech (which is two levels tall) standing behind a Level 1 hill or building. A shot that hits the mech and rolls a leg on the Hit Location Table instead strikes the cover. | |

Averted in World of Tanks—if an enemy tank spots you behind a bush or fallen tree they can fire straight through at the thoughtfully provided outline the game shows them of your tank. And then played straight when AP and APCR shells are stopped dead by flimsy wooden structures like windmills and light houses scattered throughout some of the older maps when in real life those shells wouldn't even notice the obstacles. This offered a very unpleasant surprise when many of those obstacles were reworked, and AP and APCR rounds could go right through them. | |

Justified in one instance in Case Closed. To prevent a politician from being assassinated by a sniper, a sprinkler is used to simulate rain so that the politician and those around him will open their umbrellas. The sniper is prepared to shoot through the umbrella, but her superior decides against it as the odds of a successful kill would be lower. | |

Command & Conquer: Garrisonable Structures provide cover regardless of whether it's a civilian house or a large hotel. They don't provide concealment, however (garrisoned buildings tend to have flags identifying the troops inside them), and every faction has a unit or ability that clears out the building of hostiles with minimal damage to the buiding. | |

In Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield your bullets will pass through glass and chain-link fences, unless you load them with hollow point ammunition, in which case said chain-link fence suddenly becomes impervious to bullets, but only to your weapons and not those of any terrorists. Glass will similarly block a hollow point round, although it will break and allow subsequent shots to pass through. | |

Tremors 2: Aftershocks: Burt trains his anti-tank rifle, which he intended to use on the extremely-tough Graboids, on a significantly less tough Shrieker. The shot obliterates the Shrieker - and puts a hole in the wall behind it, the shed behind the wall, the barrels behind the shed, and eventually hitting the engine of the escape vehicle. Oops. | |

Subverted in one One Piece movie, where new hero Shuraiya takes cover behind a table during a bar fight, and the bullets punch right through the table beside his head. He then uses the table more as concealment and keeps moving it so they can't tell where he is behind it. Interestingly, since they were firing flintlocks, the heavy oak table probably would have stopped the bullet in real life. | |

Played straight with offensive spells in EverQuest, however it's averted with beneficial spells like buffs or heals, which work through walls as long as the target is close enough. This was probably done intentionally to prevent characters from missing life-saving heals by accidentally stepping around a corner, or simply falling victim to the game engine's comparatively primitive line-of-sight checks. | |

In the very first level of Psychonauts, you come up against a machine-gun bunker that can shred you to bits in seconds. Although you can activate a series of walls to serve as cover, nearly all of them save one are made of wood, which is destructible, and lasts only a second or two under the intense gunfire. However, this level is in one of the characters' dreams, where concealment = cover makes much more sense. | |

Lethal Weapon: First played straight in a reasonable fashion than Averted in Lethal Weapon 3: Murtaugh was about to be crushed by one of the main villains driving a bulldozer. He shoots at the bulldozer with his standard 9mm handgun, but none of the bullets go through. Murtaugh then gives one of the villain a Karmic Death by shooting through a bulldozer using the same armour-piercing bullets he'd sold to Murtaugh's son's friend who he was forced to kill. Murtaugh killed the friend of his son by shooting through his cover; and the villains killed a young cop by shooting him through both the oil drums he was hiding behind and his bullet proof vest. Averted in Lethal Weapon 4. Riggs kills a man who was hiding behind some pipes, by using another pipe to deflect the bullet so the hiding guy stands up from the pain of getting shot. |

Even when the two heroes and their detainee are taking cover on the complete opposite side of the floor, the rounds still penetrate through the walls, missing the three only because the path of firing is just too high to hit them. The rounds even open a hole in the reinforced metal blast doors at the very back. Averted when Dredd takes cover behind a concrete wall, only for Lex to switch to armor-piercing rounds and shoot right through it. He didn't know exactly where Dredd was, though, so he just shot a line down the wall and got Dredd with the last round. |

The game has pretty much everything short of the ground providing cover bonuses—some stuff could justifiably be so, like plants that may be really tough due to being fictional. On the other hand, the barrels seem to be rather unlikely. Presumably, it uses the same justification as the original tabletop mentioned above. | |

Call of Duty: World at War and the Modern Warfare series allows you to shoot through certain objects (such as wood) with some reduced damage from the bullets; there's no system for actually destroying anything, though, and any form of divide between the player and the explosion will stop grenade shrapnel dead. In the singleplayer, this only benefits you however. The enemy NPCs simply can't damage you with cover in between you and them. The trope is both played straight and averted in the original Nuketown map. Want to shoot someone through the ceiling with a pistol? Sure! Want to snipe someone through a curtain? Nope. What is and is not bulletproof however seems to be completely random at best. In some places, thick, metal and concrete walls can be shot through for massive damage, but nowhere is there a melon leaf that can be penetrated by an anti-tank rifle in the first two thirds of the Modern Warfare trilogy. Also, vehicles will explode under heavy fire, killing you if you're too close. Same with the Ghost Recon series, where enemies can easily be sniped through walls and other thin barriers, but not so much through thicker cover such as crates. |

True Lies: Played for laughs when Tom Arnold's character takes cover behind a lamp post against automatic fire; every bullet hits the post. Even he can't believe it (though it's perfectly plausible: an iron light post is more than enough to stop an AKS74U bullet, and the deduction of silhouette it provided against automatic fire is pretty substantial; moreover, the only parts that COULD be hit would be the agent's belly fat and butt fat). Played straight in the opening chase sequence, where the bad guys' 5.56 rounds are stopped by a rather skinny softwood tree. |

This trope applies in the first Delta Force game to the extent that even building-sized camouflage nets with fist-sized holes are perfectly bulletproof. Averted in the sequels, where it was even a selling point. | |

One issue of City Hunter, with a criminal in a cafe who tells Ryo he can't shoot him—because Ryo's gun is so powerful, the bullet will go through him and the window behind him, and risk hitting an innocent bystander outside. Ryo shoots through his own hand to slow down the bullet enough to avoid this. | |

Taken to extremes in the Top Gear Range Rover vs. Challenger 2 main battle tank. The rules of the game: Jeremy has to escape and evade a single Challenger 2, traversing the Challenger's own training grounds of the Salisbury plain. The tank's job is to score a simulated kill on Jeremy using the tank's 120mm main gun. (allowing the crew to remember that they also had two 7.62mm machine guns and personal sidearms, although both are shown in the opening briefing, would have made it far too easy). Jeremy then proceeds to hide behind a bush before recalling the difference. | |

When a reinforced cyborg starts hunting him down, Togusa hides behind a desk. The cyborg starts shooting all over the room, and a bullet hits Togusa in the gut when it passes through the desk. | |

Averted—in a way—in Portal and Portal 2. Although the bullets fired by the turrets can most likely penetrate many surfaces (with some exceptions, like bulletproof glass, and heavy props! The various cubes can provide some protection, but Chell still gets hit), the Turrets can only fire at you when you are in direct line of sight. If they don't see you, they won't shoot at you. So, in this case, concealment does equal cover! | |

Averted fairly well in Mirror's Edge. Bullets easily tear through most materials that they realistically should, such as metal gratings, rooftop solar panels, and the walls of air vents. Some materials such as reinforced plate glass initially block bullets, but still eventually shatter and break under sustained fire. | |

Averted in ArmA, as finding what provides cover and what just provides concealment from specific weapons is tremendously variable. ACE takes this even further, as a projectile doesn't even need to penetrate all the way through a wall to damage someone on the other side; the shrapnel alone can kill someone. | |

In the X-COM series, most objects or buildings on the battlefield will stop at least one bullet, usually getting blown to bits in the process. Shame the aliens tend to fire on full auto. Cover will not make you immune from explosives, so a standard tactic is to just blast any building with high explosive rounds, rockets and grenades. In the early game, even high explosive packs: an agent opens the door in UFO, an alien faces the door and you know it will shoot before your puny bullets and bad aim may kill it. So this soldier runs away and another sets a charge right next to the enemy behind the wall—it can't breach UFO, but it can damage wall, floor behind it and kill the alien. In XCOM: Enemy Unknown , plasma and laser weapons will destroy cover. The same cannot be said for your puny starting kinetics. Explosives will also destroy cover. Like the former games in the series, stuff that's cover is liable to stop at least one shooting attack at least before breaking... even if that stuff being used for cover is a mailbox or garbage can. Cars will also explode from being shot up, though after they explode the wreckage they leave behind is by all means unbreakable. Actually enforced by the game's mechanics. Standing in a smoke-grenade cloud and hunkering down behind a waste-high chunk of concrete both give equivalent bonuses to defense. |

More or less Averted in Full Spectrum Warrior. In those games, while wooden boxes and tables or couches can be used for cover, thinner materials deteriorate much faster than thicker ones. Also, due to how shooting works in the game, it's also entirely possible for a stray bullet to kill one of your teammates regardless of cover. Also, cover and concealment can be completely ignored by flanking. This is a central mechanic in the game. | |

Burn Notice: The pilot episode lampshades this with a drug dealer's apartment, who has a reinforced door. Michael explains that most people ignore the fact that most walls are just drywall and plaster, which he uses to shoot the dealer in the knee from outside. Michael and Sam later deliberately armor a car with phone books and bulletproof glass, expecting to be hit by a gang. The outside of the car is still riddled with holes but none penetrate inside. | |
