In-game description
A custom-made 12/70 slug shell with a shortened .50 BMG tracer bullet for 12 gauge shotguns. No one knows who and why is producing these strange slugs in Tarkov, but they just work... somehow.
Against which armor
Penetration 26 is above the resistance of class 2 armor (20) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 3, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.
For example, the vests it can defeat: 6B2 body armor (Flora), PACA Soft Armor, PACA Soft Armor (Rivals Edition). The full table is in the armor classes guide.
