Damage is the ammo's own, before the gun's scale. The number under a gun is what one shot does from it. Cost is the recipe divided by what one craft makes. Blast damage is at the centre and weakens toward the edge.
Hits to kill

|---|---|---|
| Bradley APC | 7 | 160.5 |
| Patrol Helicopter (body) | 21 | 480 |
Methodology
Tested in game on the current version of Rust. One hit at full health, point blank, with the item's own damage. Fire that keeps burning after the hit is not counted. Patrol Helicopter rows count hits to its body, not its rotors.
