It may be an edge of the wall, cover, a wooden surface, or such things that can be penetrated using a high calibre rifle or weapons with Armor Piercing rounds or any ammunition loadout with a Bullet Penetration attribute.

Since many of the environments in MW3’s maps can be shot through, especially cover points, getting Penetration Kills is not that hard, especially when you are playing game modes like Hardpoint, Domination, and Team Deathmatch.

That said, TDM maps like the Shoot House are also excellent options for getting these kills as they are filled with wooden boxes and walls through which you can easily get them.

But the random spawns and the lack of information on where the enemy will come from sometimes make it challenging.
