Stats

In-game description

A 7.62x39mm PS gzh (GAU Index - 57-N-231) cartridge with a 7.9 gram bullet with a heat-strengthened steel core with lead cladding on the tip and a bimetallic jacket, in a bimetallic case. The PS cartridge (Púlya so Stal'ným serdéchnikom - "Bullet with a Steel core") was introduced into service in 1949 for Soviet 7.62x39mm caliber weaponry, and over the years has undergone numerous changes in the materials used for its construction. Thanks to the tempered steel core that this model has, it is able to pierce through basic ballistic body protections as well as some intermediate models in addition to provide a significant stopping power effect, however, it has a high bounce probability off various surfaces.

Against which armor

Penetration 35 is above the resistance of class 3 armor (30) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 4, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.

For example, the vests it can defeat: BNTI Kirasa-N body armor, 6B23-1 body armor (EMR), BNTI Zhuk body armor (Press). The full table is in the armor classes guide.
