In-game description
A 5.56x45mm NATO SSA AP cartridge with a two-part armor-piercing projectile, the bullet consists of a sabot and a tungsten carbide penetrator body, in a brass case. This bullet was designed to surpass the one used in the 5.56x45mm NATO M995 cartridge in regard to its penetration capabilities, thanks to its muzzle velocity and peculiar design, it is capable of piercing basic and intermediate ballistic body protections, in addition to providing outstanding results against some modern specialized protection models, however, due to its design, it has a high bounce probability on various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 57 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.
