In-game description
A .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6x70mm) AP cartridge with a two-part armor-piercing projectile of 15.4 grams, the bullet consists of a sabot and a tungsten carbide penetrator body, in a brass case. This cartridge was designed to increase, in a limited way, the anti-materiel capabilities of the .338 Lapua Magnum caliber rifles, managing to pierce through light armored vehicles not to mention its excellent results against the most modern specialized ballistic body protections as well as having a considerable stopping power effect and be able to inflict devastating adverse effects on the target after impact. However, due to its design, it has a significant probability of bouncing off various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 79 is above the resistance of class 6 armor (60) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 6, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.
For example, the vests it can defeat: 6B43 Zabralo-Sh body armor (EMR), FORT Redut-T5 body armor (Smog), NFM THOR Integrated Carrier body armor. The full table is in the armor classes guide.
