Stats

In-game description

A 5.45x39mm BS gs (GRAU Index - 7N24) cartridge with a 4.1 gram armor-piercing bullet with a pointed tungsten carbide core over a lead base with a bimetallic jacket, in a steel case. This BS bullet (Broneboynyy Serdechnik - "Armor-piercing Core") was developed by TsNIITochMash in 1998 to greatly increase the penetration capabilities of Russian 5.45x39mm caliber weapons, by being able to pierce basic and intermediate ballistic body protections in addition to provide outstanding results against some specialized protection models, despite having a relatively low muzzle velocity compared to other cartridges. However, due to its design, it has a high bounce probability off various surfaces.

Against which armor

Penetration 54 is above the resistance of class 5 armor (50) — 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: IOTV Gen4 body armor (Full Protection Kit, MultiCam), IOTV Gen4 body armor (Assault Kit, MultiCam), FORT Redut-M body armor. The full table is in the armor classes guide.
