In-game description
A 7.62x54mm R LPS gzh (GRAU Index - 57-N-323S) cartridge with a 9.6 gram steel core bullet with a lead cladding and a bimetallic jacket, in a bimetallic case. The LPS cartridge (Lyógkaya Púlya so Stal'ným serdéchnikom - "Light Steel core Bullet") was introduced into service in 1953 for Soviet 7.62x54mm R caliber weaponry, and over the years has undergone numerous changes in the materials used for its construction. Thanks to its steel core, it is capable of piercing through basic and intermediate ballistic body protections in addition to providing a considerable stopping power effect, however, it has a high bounce probability off various surfaces.
Against which armor
Penetration 42 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.
