In-game description
A 5.45x39mm T gs (GRAU Index - 7T3) cartridge with a 3.2 gram lead core tracer bullet with a bimetallic jacket, in a steel case; intended for target designation and fire adjustment in battle (Trace color: Red). This T cartridge (Trassíruyushchaya - "Tracer") was introduced in 1974 alongside with the PS gs cartridge (GRAU Index - 7N6) to provide tracing capabilities to Soviet 5.45x39mm caliber weaponry, as well as being able of piercing basic ballistic body protection, besides having significant stopping power effect. However, due to its design, it has a high bounce probability off various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 20 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.
