Against which armor
Penetration 37 is above the resistance of class 3 armor (30) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 4, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.
For example, the vests it can defeat: BNTI Kirasa-N body armor, 6B23-1 body armor (EMR), BNTI Zhuk body armor (Press). The full table is in the armor classes guide.
