In-game description
A 7.62x51mm NATO M80 cartridge with a 9.5 gram lead-antimony alloy core bullet with a bimetallic jacket, in a brass case. This cartridge was adopted in the United States Armed Forces as a replacement for the 7.62x51mm NATO M59 cartridge after the Vietnam War as standard ammunition, as it provides a considerable stopping power effect as well as being able to pierce through basic and intermediate body ballistic protections. However, it has a high bounce probability on various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 43 is above the resistance of class 4 armor (40) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 5, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.
For example, the vests it can defeat: 6B23-2 body armor (Mountain Flora), Interceptor OTV body armor (UCP), 6B13 assault armor (Flora). The full table is in the armor classes guide.
