Stats

In-game description

A 9x18mm Makarov PBM gzh (GRAU Index - 7N25) cartridge with a 3.7 gram hardened carbon steel core armor-piercing bullet with a bimetallic semi-jacket in a bimetallic case. This cartridge was designed in the 1990s to increase the penetration capabilities of 9x18 mm PM caliber weapons, and thanks to its high muzzle velocity it is capable of piercing through basic ballistic body protection equipment as well as certain intermediate protection equipment at short distances at the cost of a small increase in recoil.

Against which armor

Penetration 28 is above the resistance of class 2 armor (20) — while such armor is intact, the round penetrates it more often than not. Against class 3, penetrations are rare until the armor is worn down.

For example, the vests it can defeat: 6B2 body armor (Flora), PACA Soft Armor, PACA Soft Armor (Rivals Edition). The full table is in the armor classes guide.
