Not yet. You have to rember there are TWO steps to the Barrier Rating (BR)
rules -- the first is checking for damage to the barrier, the second is
checking for reduction in Power Level. Since these happen at the same
time, it is best to do these in reverse order if the shot is aimed at a
target on the other side.
However, if the BR is reduced, that reduction won't affect the shot that
reduced it. As can be seen from example A2, Carmen's shot had its Power
reduced by 4, because that was the original BR of the glass. Her next shot
would face the BR of 3, unless of course she were to fire through the hole
the previous round made.
