In-game description

A 5.7x28mm FN R37.F cartridge with a 2.4 gram frangible bullet made entirely of copper, in a brass case; produced by R&R Weapon Systems. The bullet is designed to fragment upon impact, turning the bullet tip into three razor sharp petals, thus providing a superior stopping power effect of its caliber, as well as causing substantial adverse effects on the target after impact, at the cost of penetration capabilities, even against basic ballistic protection.

Against which armor

Penetration 8 is below the resistance of even class 2 (20): the round is meant for unarmored targets or shots at unprotected areas.
