P250 Damage by Range

| 0 m | 38 | 152 |
| 10 m | 35 | 140 |

| 40 m | 27 | 109 |
The P250 cannot one-shot headshot a helmeted opponent — even at point-blank range it takes more than one shot through a helmet.
Damage is per bullet against an unarmored target; body values assume a chest or arm hit and headshots apply a 4× multiplier.
