Touche. I was estimating (and 7 is closer to 7.2 than 6 is). But you are
correct, 1/6 chance of penetrating*5/6 chance of hitting=5/36 hits per DR.
7.2 shots needed to average one hit (one hit is a guranteed crit w/ a DR).
I believe that if you do the math the chances of a single hit is less than
one, but the chances of multiple hits drive the average up.
