In-game description
A 7.62x51mm NATO M993 cartridge with an 8.2 gram armor-piercing bullet with a tungsten carbide penetrator over an aluminum base with a copper jacket, in a brass case. This cartridge was designed during the 1990s to provide United States Armed Forces personnel with capabilities to pierce light covers and light armored vehicles, in addition to providing excellent results against the most modern specialized ballistic body protections.
Against which armor
Penetration 65 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.
