Stats

In-game description

A 9x18mm PMM PstM gzh (GAU Index - 57-N-181SM, GRAU Index - 7N16) cartridge with a 5.6 gram steel core bullet with a bimetallic jacket in a truncated cone shape, in a bimetallic case. The 9x18mm PMM cartridge is the modernization of the 9x18mm PM cartridge, designed with the intention of increasing its piercing capabilities against basic ballistic body protections, and it has an increased powder charge, making it dangerous to fire in non-compatible weapons. It is intended to be used with the PMM pistol (Makarov Pistol Modernised) and the PP-9 "Klin" submachine gun.

Against which armor

Penetration 24 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.
