In-game description
A 7.62x39mm MAI AP cartridge with a two-part armor-piercing projectile, the bullet consists of a sabot and a tungsten carbide penetrator body, in a steel case. This bullet was designed by MAI to increase the penetration capabilities of the 7.62x39mm caliber, 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, it has a high bounce probability on various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 58 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.
