In-game description
A 7.62x51mm NATO M80A1 cartridge with a 124 grain armor-piercing copper jacket bullet with an exposed hardened steel penetrator, in a stainless steel casing. Designed as a replacement for the M80 cartridge to improve the armor penetration and ballistics of the cartridge as part of a program to eliminate the use of lead in small arms ammunition in the U.S. Army.
Against which armor
Penetration 60 is above the resistance of class 6 armor (60) — 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: 6B43 Zabralo-Sh body armor (EMR), FORT Redut-T5 body armor (Smog), NFM THOR Integrated Carrier body armor. The full table is in the armor classes guide.
